King Magnus IV of Sweden and Norway drowned in a shipwreck in the fjord in 1374.

On February 21, 1945 the vessel D/S Austri was attacked by British aircraft and sunk in the fjord. The passengers included German military personnel, prisoners of war, and civilian passengers,[4] among them the judge and newspaperman Gerhard Jynge.[5][6]
