I’m continuing this small series of images telling the story of Røros today, with the special architecture dating back often a hundred and more years. Here we can see some typical miner’s houses, located close to the mine which we can see in the background.

Completely rebuilt after its destruction by Swedish troops in 1679, the town has some 80 wooden houses, most of them standing around courtyards. Many retain their dark pitch-log facades, giving the town a medieval appearance.

It is worth mentioning that many of the miner’s families kept livestock in town… cow for milk and butter, pork for meat, and sheep for the wool! And chicken of course, for eggs and meat. That is why there often is an addition to the house intended for the animals, like here.

--------

Røros is a former mining town in Central Norway, located in a mountain area not far from the border to Sweden. The old town has maintained much of its original character, including a street plan dating from the 17th century, and timber houses from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Røros has been on the UN World Heritage List since 1980, and today the place is more or less a living museum…

Greetings from Holland,
Adri

Looks like a great place to visit! I love to see old buildings all over the world, different homes for different temperatures!

Can't wait to see more of the buildings. Are they currently occupied. They look like they have residents. I'm glad to see that the history of the ares is being maintained. Who is the bust of?

Hola Pablo.
Una encantadora esquina.
Bellas calles las de este pueblo.
Un cordial saludo, JL.

Hi Pablo!
Pitch logs. Before I read the note, I was thinking that they built their houses out of railway ties. Same thing, kind of.
Weather seems to be like ours: April and still cold!
Cheers
Otto

Hi Pablo,

This is my kind of subject, color contrasts.

From the subject itself, wooden house, to the sky.

I should have some kind like this one.

Good composition & exposure.

Hi Pablo,

And there they are -the Norwegian roofs I love so much.
Hope they still have some livestock in those additions, really gives a rural feel to that old mining village.
Lovely composition and a bit of April snow to give that scandinavian feel to it.

Hi Pablo,
These houses look very eco-friendly using grass in the roof for insulation. Looks like you guys are well ahead in terms of being 'green' before the word became fashionable. Well captured and composed with good image quality. Tfs

Hi Pablo, Another very good POV which shows the building style of Norway. Excellent sharpness and good blue skies set it off well. TFS. Murray.
PS I met a Norwegian man (Rolf) from Larvik last week in Thailand. I mentioned your exposure of Norway's beauty on Trekearth and he was delighted.
