When thoughts turn to Norway, fjords, fair-haired individuals, and Vikings typically spring to mind – not enchanting architectural designs.
Below, you’ll discover photographs showcasing Norwegian rural architecture that appears as if it has been plucked directly from the pages of a fairy tale. The range of architectural styles encompasses Stave churches, dating back to the Middle Ages, ethereal natural waterfalls, and traditional wooden residences built in the 19th-century Norwegian vernacular style (byggeskikk).
Feel free to share your opinions about which of these images would seamlessly fit into a fairy tale setting, and as always, don’t hesitate to contribute your own examples from your personal journeys through Norway.
