The cultural building Arbeideren was completed in 1906, as the main building for cultural events in Ålesund, a position it has kept for more than 100 years. Arbeideren is known as the most monumental Art Nouveau building in Ålesund, and arises as an important element in the cityscape. The distinctive facades mix temple gables, neo-classic columns and balusters with the details, ornaments and keyhole shaped doors and windows of the Art Nouveau style. The interior is beautifully decorated in Art Nouveau style, with a simple and elegant decor. As a whole, the exterior and interior appear as an ambitious complete work of art from the architects. Arbeideren is today one of the most beautiful festivity buildings in Norway. The preservation also underlines that the building historically has been of great importance to the cultural and social life in Ålesund.
