59 NO - Bryggen (1979)

Brief Description

"Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen, is a reminder of the town’s importance as part of the Hanseatic League’s trading empire from the 14th to the mid-16th century. Many fires, the last in 1955, have ravaged the characteristic wooden houses of Bryggen. Its rebuilding has traditionally followed old patterns and methods, thus leaving its main structure preserved, which is a relic of an ancient wooden urban structure once common in Northern Europe. Today, some 62 buildings remain of this former townscape."

卑尔根市布吕根区
"布吕根地区是卑尔根的一个旧码头,该遗迹告诉人们这是14世纪到16世纪中叶汉萨同盟贸易帝国的一个重镇。多起火灾(最后一起是在1955年) 烧毁了布吕根地区美丽的木头房子,但是其主要建筑仍然保存下来。如今残存的58幢建筑大部分被用作艺术家的工作室。"
