Alluitsoq
Alluitsoq (Old Spelling: ''Agdluitsok'') is the name of a former settlement in southern Greenland, located on the Alluitsoq or Lichtenau Fjord near Cape Farewell. It is about 7 kilometers from Ammassivik (Sletten), located on the opposite side of the same fjord.
It was founded as Lichtenau (German: "Light Water") by the Moravian missionary Gotfried Grillich and five families〔"(Mission in Greenland )". ''The Christian Library: Comprising a Series of Standard Works in Religious Literature.'' Key & Biddle, 1833.〕 in 1774.〔Lüdecke, Cornelia. "(East Meets West: Meteorological observations of the Moravians in Greenland and Labrador since the 18th century )". ''History of Meteorology'' 2, 2005.〕 For a time, it was the largest permanent settlement in Greenland. The mission was surrendered to the Lutheran Church of Denmark in 1900.〔Wittman, P. "(Greenland )". ''The Catholic Encyclopedia''. Robert Appleton Co. (New York), 1909. Accessed 28 Apr 2012.〕
The site has a large graveyard and was used as a children's home for the Gertrud Rask Institute between 1942 and 1980. The fjord separates in two at the end. One houses the largest waterfall in Greenland, Qorlortorsuaq, and a trout farm. The other holds a Norse farm's ruins.〔Randburg.com. "(Historic sites and ruins in the Nanortalik district )".
