Bryggen (the dock)
Bryggen’s structures are built in lines with vernacular building traditions that influenced Norway’s style of architecture.
- In Bryggen you will find narrow roads with buildings facing the harbor, separated by narrow wooden passages.
- Approximately 62 buildings remain, and are a shining example of how German merchants lived and worked.
- The name “gard” is used to refer to the rows of 2 and 3-storey urban buildings that can be seen running parallel to the harbor.
- The medieval structure of the buildings has been maintained.
