The Saltery was built as a fish processing warehouse in 1927. A salting factory was built here in 1916, but it was demolished by the great storm and spring tide of January13, 1925, when the sea rose all the way up to the chapel causing considerable damage.

Several buildings and wharves and large parts of the breakwater were swept away. Today the warehouse has benn turned into accommodations for tourists and is also used for storing people's rowing boats.

 Seagulls have built their nests on the window sills and at the right time of year you can observe them brooding and feeding their young.
