Gamle Stavanger trifft heute auf den Kreuzfahrttourismus, wenn große Schiffe direkt vor den historischen Häusern im Hafen liegen. Die niedrige Holzarchitektur wird dann von moderner Größe überragt. Der Kontrast fällt sofort ins Auge.

Gamle Stavanger mit dem Viertel Straen bewahrt über 170 weiße Holzhäuser aus dem 18. und 19. Jhd. Der Bereich steht unter Denkmalschutz und wirkt fast wie ein Freilichtmuseum.

It looks like Museumsday, but no, today is #Caturday.
She asked in her way not to bother her, but a cat in Old Stavanger was just too tempting.

Gamle Stavanger is the old town part of the city of Stavanger, the last port of call on our 2013 cruise aboard Crown Princess to the Norwegian fjords. We'd spent the day here on an excursion initially to an iron age farm, an old telecoms tower, and the city's cathedral, but with free time at the end and our ship safely close by and in sight we went for a walk around this picturesque spot before boarding for the last time.

This was the former slum area of the city and during modernisation in the 1950s it was almost all torn down to make way for new buildings but the city architect saw its potential and ordered a clean-up instead. So nice was this area that we returned to it ten years later for more of a look and to visit museums nearby.
