The town's narrowest house
0
The rebuilding after the great city fire went quickly, also here where you can see what is today referred to as "The city's narrowest house". "Is it a house, or perhaps a backdrop?" like to ask the tourists on their way when they discover the house, which is only 2 meters and 97 cm wide in the facade that faces what is today the city's pedestrian street. "It's another house with a whole three floors. Shop space on the first, then two floors and in addition a small attic." The special thing is that the house expands backwards and becomes somewhat wider at the rear. The architect who designed the building is considered one of Norway's leading architects around the turn of the century. In addition to several assignments in Ålesund, including "Rønnebergbua", he also designed a number of significant buildings in Trondheim. Originally there was an opening where you could drive a horse and cart into the backyard of the plumber's workshop that was located there. Today, that opening has been sealed off and replaced with a shop and art gallery.
