10 Photos Of Norway’s Fairy Tale Architecture
Norway started out as a kingdom in 872 and has existed ever since. It
has also saved quite a bit of its traditional architecture. Traditional
Norwegian architecture makes it look like a land out of a fairytale.
Stave churches – so named because of the Norse words for their
load-bearing poles – were extremely popular back in the 12th century,
and their unique shape matched with all-wooden construction make is
simply spectacular.Norvegian vernacular (as in, built to local requirements and using
local materials) architecture is wonderful. Moss and even trees grow on
the roofs of wooden or stone buildings, making Norway a sort of Norse
Shire. Have a look, and plan your next holiday accordingly!via: boredpanda
