The jetty, with its well-known lighthouse, was finished in 1855, and was financed in cooperation between the Port Authorities and the merchants in the city. Moljå, or Moljo, is the way this jetty is referenced in Ålesund. An explanation for why the word has been twisted like this can be found in Spanish, as there were, in the 1800s, a lot of Spanish ships stopping by the city to buy stockfish. With so many Spanish in the city at the same time, they inundated the people of Ålesund with their Spanish expressions, and in general coloured city life. A very distinctive hotel room has now been built inside the now more than 150 years old lighthouse on the tip of the jetty. Room 47 belongs to Brosundet Hotel, and has two floors, where the first floor is a bathroom, while the second floor is a combined bedroom and livingroom.
