Bryggen Webcam

The medieval city of Bergen received its charter from king Olav Kyrre around the year 1070. From its foundation, Bergen has been a natural harbour for international and regional trade. During the mid-14th century, Bergen was one of four offi ces for the German Hanseatic
League. Despite devastating fires, Bergen has preserved many buildings and districts of historical value, including Håkonshallen, Rosenkrantztårnet, the wharf district of Bryggen and the medieval churches.

The Bryggen wharf is one of fi ve Norwegian sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The municipality maintain this heritage through ownership of museums such as the Hanseatic Museum, development of preservation expertise in the Bergen Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments and Historic Buildings, and through the preservation of local historical records in the Bergen City Archives.

Densely built wooden houses in central Bergen line numerous narrow alleyways, not only providing a charming look but also presenting a
considerable fi re hazard. To prevent the repetition of city's fi re history, Bergen has formed a very effective fi re brigade, which has the capacity
to reach fi res extremely quickly.
