In the commune of Frðna, on the south side of Norway's Atlantic Highway, is the little fishing village of Bud, where in 1553 Norway's last archbishop called together the Norwegian Diet of peasants and burghers in order to liberate Norway from its dependence on Denmark. The attempt failed, and four years later the archbishop was forced to flee
from Norway. The wooden village church dates from 1717.
Bud also became part of the German's Atlantic Wall, in anticipation of an Allied invasion during WW II.
