Bud

At the death of king Frederick I in 1533, it was the site of the last independent Norwegian Privy Council, organized by Olav Engelbrektsson, Archbishop of Nidaros. The meeting led to a failed attempt to break away from the Kalmar Union and King Christian III, and claim Norway's independence by rejecting the Protestant Reformation.

The council was the last of its kind in Norway for 270 years.

During World War II, the Germans heavily fortified Bud in anticipation of an Allied invasion, as a part of the Atlantic Wall.

Bud was also a municipality from 1837 to 1 January 1964, when it became a part of Fræna.

The wooden village church dates from 1717.
