Brugen is located 3 km west of the center of Bergen by the sea. Brugen means "bank" in Norwegian. The buildings in the town are mostly wooden buildings, which are the concentration of famous ancient buildings. These renovated wooden houses, restored to the past, are mostly three-story houses, with long narrow windows, steep roofs, gables made of wood, and cabins generally have stone basements. Inside, there is also an open-air museum of 35 wooden houses from the 18th to 19th centuries, which focuses on the old style of the town.
