On to Ålesund. It was devastated by a fire in January of 1904, with nearly all of its 12,000 inhabitants then homeless, during the harsh Nordic winter. The city rebuilt, with the help of many European neighboring countries, in a mostly Art Nouveau style of architecture. Now quite charming.
This third pic shows what is claimed to be the "narrowest house in Europe", to the right of the green Art Nouveau house.
