The blaze left approximately 10,000 residents homeless and claimed one life. The devastation was so complete that the entire town required comprehensive reconstruction.

This reconstruction became a landmark moment in Norwegian urban design, transforming Ålesund into one of the most architecturally unique towns in Scandinavia.
