Vestbygd
On the southwestern shore of the Lista peninsula in Agder, Vestbygd is a compact Norwegian fishing village with a harbour sheltered from the North Sea by a breakwater. The Lista Lighthouse stands just west of the village, and Farsund Airport, Lista, sits on its eastern edge. Once home to a boatbuilding industry, the village retains its maritime character alongside Vestbygda Chapel.
