The Lofoten War Memorial Museum fills the ground floor of Svolvær's former post office from 1923, near the eastern harbour. Opened on 15 June 1996 from William Hakvaag's private collection and part of Museum Nord since 2010, it shows about 140 uniforms and many smaller objects from the German occupation of 1940–1945 and the Lofoten raid of 4 March 1941.
Vågan Church, known as the Lofoten Cathedral, is a timber cruciform church in Gothic Revival style at Kjerkvågen, about 1 km east of Kabelvåg. Designed by Carl Julius Bergstrøm, it was consecrated in October 1898 with 1,200 seats for the fishermen of the Lofoten fishery. Inside are an altarpiece from 1861, 17th-century chandeliers and a Bible printed in 1589.
