Norway Pavilion

The Norway Pavilion welcomes guests to the Age of the Vikings.  This 58,000 square foot country was designed to represent the picturesque Norwegian villages found in the cities of Bergen, Oslo, Alesund and Setesdahl. Simple landscaping is the key to Norway’s natural woodsy look with the use of architectural and natural elements such as stone, wood, tile and waterfalls for an authentic feel.

The pavilion includes four distinct types of Norwegian architecture including a detailed replica of the Gol Stave church found in the Norsk Folkemuseum in Oslo and the Bergen style with gabled windows and close-set wooden buildings as represented in the Fishing village.
