Bangsund Brygga / Tromsø

The Bangsund warehouse was built in 1902, originally for storing goods arriving and departing at the wharf. At that time, the projecting gable would have housed a windlass to hoist goods up and down. This wooden-framed building has now been sensitively restored, along with three other warehouses. In 2000 an award for the work was given to architecture firm Borealis AS. Tromsø, Norway.
