About
The Norway Building was produced in 1893 at Strandheim Brug, Orkanger. The building was commissioned by the Norwegian Government for The World’s Fair in Chicago, and modeled after the stave churches of the Middle Ages. One exception: It has windows. The Norway Building stayed in USA for 122 years until it was moved back to Norway by volunteers. The best preserved building from the 1893 Fair.
