Reported by Karavan Holidays, Bryggen pier was built in the 18th century. But the area itself has been a commercial center since the 14th century, especially since it was dominated by Hansa merchants. The wooden buildings standing on the edge of the pier were originally warehouses to store fish and cereal catches. Since it was founded, the houses have been burned several times.

Now the warehouse building in Bryggen has turned into a restaurant, souvenir shop, bar and museum. Thanks to its uniqueness, Bryggen was asked to be one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1979.
