- 6.54.4/5104 ReviewFree"Beautiful place characterized by colorful wooden houses along the harbor. A great place to explore."Bergen.Bergen City Center714m from downtownHighlights: Bryggen, which means pier in Norwegian and also known as the German pier, was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979. Don't underestimate these simple and ancient buildings. Although they are not stunning, they are world heritage sites with profound meaning and charm. Bryggen is located in the eastern part of the harbour, and many merchants from northern Germany operated the cod trade here in the mid-14th century. The business grew bigger and bigger, and a slightly political chamber of commerce called the "Hanse League" was established mainly composed of German businessmen. They almost occupied the important port of Bryggen and prospered for a while. Interestingly, 700 years after the collapse of the League, the wooden houses became the liaison office of Norway's underground organization against the German Nazis. From cooperative partners to hostile invaders, Bryggen's century-old buildings have witnessed the vicissitudes of history. Over the years, the wooden houses have been repeatedly burned, and the buildings you see in Bryggen are rebuilt more than 300 years ago. Although the charm of the Middle Ages is much less, it does not prevent Bryggen from becoming the essence of Bergen. , The houses have been transformed into multiple boutiques, restaurants and historical museums. Rows of brightly colored wooden houses make the rain city Bergen look a lot sunny. It is said that if you want to repaint the color of the house, you must inform the government. .Show Less
