By 1907, most of the town center had been rebuilt. The architects were inspired by both national romantic impulses and the modern Art Nouveau style of the time in Europe. The buildings are characterized by towers, spires, and imaginative, colorful ornaments. It’s important to look up in the streets to appreciate the small details that make it all so special. Ålesund is renowned for its unique architecture and holds a special place in Norwegian and international architectural history.

  To ensure the new visitor center complements the surroundings and existing facilities, much of the 700-square-meter building is built into the ground.
