🎧 Listen to Introduction
Bryggen is Bergen's old wharf, a reminder of the town's importance as part of the Hanseatic League trading empire from the 14th to the mid-16th century. Bryggen has suffered from fires several times, the most recent in 1955, which destroyed Bryggen's characteristic timber houses. Its reconstruction followed traditional patterns and methods, so its main structure has been preserved, a remnant of the old timber-framed urban architecture that was once common in Northern Europe. Today, about 62 buildings remain in this former townscape.
