Timber-town Bergen, 1700
Bergen in 1700 is Norway's largest trading port built almost entirely of timber, its medieval wharves at Bryggen rebuilt after repeated fires and still crowded with Hanseatic and Norwegian merchants. The walk moves from the fjord into the harbour: quays, the fish market at Vågsbunnen, timber lanes and ropewalks, the Bergenhus fortress and the slopes of the seven surrounding mountains.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Bergen as it stood in 1700 (“Bergen”).
