Kinn Island

Featured in: Dune

Kinn Island with its characteristic mountain cleft Kinnaklova features in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune as part of the House Atreides’ home planet of Caladan.

The island has always been a guiding point for sailors along our coast. At the base of the massive mountain lies the Kinn Church from the Middle Ages. The mythical church is built in a roman building style, and is linked to the legend of St Sunniva and the Selju Menn.

You can reach the island with a short ferry from Florø. There are currently only a couple of people who live on the island full time.
