World Heritage Sites in Norway

World Heritage in Norway consists of seven different World Heritage Sites. In addition, there are the four points on Struve’s Geodetic Arc. One of the sites, The West Norwegian Fiords, encompasses an area of three Norwegian counties and six separate municipalities. The first two Norwegian sites to be voted on to the list were, Bryggen in Bergen and Urnes stave church, both of which were elected in 1979. The most recent entries, in 2005, were The West Norwegian Fiords and Struve’s Geodetic Arc. Several other Norwegian sites are under consideration for the tentative list.
