Bronnoysund is a town in the municipality of Brønnøy in the county of Nordland, Norway. A sign in the town center indicates the town's location in the center of Norway. The distance to the North Cape and the Lindesnes Lighthouse (considered the southernmost point of the country) is 840 km.

The Brønnøysund Bridge (Brønnøysundbrua) is a 550-meter-long, cantilevered concrete bridge that has connected the Norwegian island of Torget with the mainland at Brønnøysund since 1979. With a maximum clearance of 30 meters, it allows ships to pass through and is an important part of the Norwegian road network. Visitors appreciate the bridge not only as a means of transportation, but also for its architecture and the beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, including the famous Torghatten mountain on the island of Torget.

In the town center of Bronnoysund lies Brønnøy Church, a stone church in the Neo-Gothic style dating from 1870. Parts of the chancel and entrance walls date back to the Middle Ages. The church's oldest artifact is a pre-Reformation wooden crucifix.

Brønnøysund lies on a narrow peninsula on the mainland, surrounded by islands and water. Here, you find yourself in the heart of Norway. The small coastal town, with its 5,000 inhabitants, surrounds the narrow but strategically located harbor, where trade and fishing are conducted.

At this point you are equidistant from the southern tip of Norway at Cape Lindesnes and from Nordkapp, namely 840 KM each.

Brønnøysund is the coastal town in the middle of Norway - halfway between Lindesnes and the North Cape. At least that's what the stone says.

Here it is just as far to the North Cape as in the southernmost part of Norway, namely exactly 840 km.
