Lofoten, Norway, is famous for these traditional red houses or fishermen’s cabins, called rorbuer. Built on stilts, they create a magical scene against the rugged mountains and sparkling sea.
These red houses in Lofoten weren’t just for show! Back in the day, fishermen used them for shelter and storage during the busy fishing season. Red paint was the cheapest and most practical option, thanks to readily available cod liver oil. Today, these historic cabins offer a unique way to experience Lofoten’s culture and Norway’s stunning scenery.
