Bergensers have an in-born love for their city and even newcomers quickly fall
under its spell. Bergen is of a charming city full of small wooden houses. They
scramble up the mountainsides and compete for space with wealthy mansions, flaunting
themselves all the way into the city.
Clusters of old houses cling together
in among the new quarters. Bergensers take a keen interest in protecting their
grass-root traditions and building styles, and Bergen architecture is distinctive
yet diverse. Though Bergen has suffered many fires over the centuries, it still
has one of Europe’s largest conglomerates of wooden houses. Not to say
the largest.
