Kjøpmannsgata Wharves
Bryggerekka i Kjøpmannsgata
A row of 18th-century timber warehouses along the west bank of the Nidelva, painted red, yellow and white, reflected in the river.
The timber warehouses (brygger) lining the Nidelva were mostly built in the 18th century after the great fire of 1681. They once stored fish and grain, and their piles reach into the river so boats could load and unload directly. On the west bank, along the merchants' street, the warehouses form a continuous row painted red, yellow, ochre and white. This is Trondheim's most iconic city view, and most have since been converted into offices, apartments and restaurants. The best vantage points are from the Old Town Bridge (Gamle Bybro) and from the Bakklandet side across the river.
