Lindesnes (English: the Naze) is a municipality in Vest-Agder county, Norway. It is located in the traditional district of Sørlandet. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Vigeland. Other villages in Lindesnes include Åvik, Høllen, Skofteland, Svenevig, and Vigmostad.[4]

General information

The municipality of Lindesnes was created as a new municipality on 1 January 1964 after the merger of the older municipalities of Spangereid (population: 899), Sør-Audnedal (population: 2,323), and Vigmostad (population: 589). The borders of the municipality have not changed since that time.[5]

Name

The oldest Old Norse form of the name was Líðandi. That name is derived from the verb líða which means "lead/go to an end" and the meaning is probably just "the end". A later form was Líðandisnes where the word nes which means "headland" was added (a word that is related to the English forms ness and naze). The traditional English language version of the name is just the Naze, derived from ness meaning headland.[4]

Coat-of-arms

The coat-of-arms is from modern times; they were granted on 25 April 1986. The arms are blue with a white or silver lighthouse on the center. The lighthouse represents the local Lindesnes Lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse in Norway. It was built in 1655 on the Lindesnes peninsula.[6]

Churches

The Church of Norway has three parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Lindesnes. It is part of the Mandal deanery in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark.

Geography

Lindesnes is a coastal municipality, with a long stretch of coastline to the south. It borders Audnedal municipality to the north, Lyngdal to the west, and Mandal and Marnardal to the east. The Lindesnes Lighthouse stands on the southernmost point of the mainland of Norway, nearly 1,700 kilometres (1,100 mi) southwest of Knivskjellodden, the northernmost point of mainland Norway. The southern coast of Lindesnes is rugged and includes several fjords such as the Snigsfjorden and Grønsfjorden as well as many islands such as Svinør. The interior of the municipality follows the Audnadalen valley through which the river Audna flows south into the Snigsfjorden.
