20 Pics Of Fairy Tale Architecture From Norway

When you think of Norway, the first things that come to mind are fjords, blonde people, and Vikings—not fairy tale architecture.

The architectural styles range from Stave churches, built during the Middle Ages, to ghostly natural waterfalls and traditional wooden houses constructed in the Norwegian vernacular style (Byggeskikk) during the 19th century.
