Skjerstad (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈʂæ̀ːʂtɑ]) is a village in Bodø Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The small village of Skjerstad sits at the mouth of the Misværfjorden, where it joins Skjerstadfjorden. The village is also the location of Skjerstad Church. The village was the namesake of the old Skjerstad Municipality which existed prior to 2005.
Skjerstad is possibly the place of execution of Norse chieftain Raud den Rame by King Olaf Tryggvason, and the location of the annual historical hoax play called "Ragnhilds Drøm" (Ragnhild's Dream). [2] [3]
