In former times Risør lived on wood trade. When the wood commerce was moved to Kristiansand the people of Risør refused to move there. Later in the war of 1808-18 many warships started from Risør.
Above the town is a very prominent limestone rock.
Each year in August a wood boat regatta takes place in Risør.
We enjoyed our stay in the lively yet relaxed town a lot :-)
