Bryggen is Bergen's old wharf, and its best known image. While the waterfront is most famous, I was attracted mostly by the backstreets.
The last big fire, in 1702, demolished most houses in Bergen and it was only the actual area of Bryggen that was rebuilt as it had been previously. Now, only a quarter of those buildings are left, and they are well-preserved and protected, also under Unesco patronage since 1979. The houses were originally built as warehouses for the extensive trade with other regions in Europe, but were used for living purposes as well. With industrialisation and modern means of trade, Bryggen lost its function and was reduced to its actual size.
