A place to breathe.
The heart of the Helgøy island is «Fila», the renovated old municipal building, that was built in the year 1900.
The left-wing party used Fila as a central for local activities, but also as a place to live. In 1936 Helgøy Kommune bought the house and used it as administration until 1964 where Helgøy Kommune was subordinated Karlsøy Kommune.
Today the house is renovated according to modern standards, but without losing its soul and historical charm. You can sit in the wintergarden and enjoy the view over the sea, while the fire crackles in the old fireplace.
