About Pepperkakebyen / Gingerbread City (Bergen, Norway)

Bergen is famous for its Gingerbread Town that is created every year on Torgalmenningen Square. Kindergartens, schools and private individuals send in their gingerbread houses for this miniature version of Bergen.

In 2009, the opening had to be postponed for one week because a few days before the planned opening, a vandal ravaged the town under construction. The people responded by (re-)building even more houses than usual, resulting in a record large edition of the already largest Gingerbread Town in the world.

Bergen er kjent for pepperkakebyen som lages hvert år på Torgallmenningen. Både barnehager, skoler og privatpersoner sender sine bidrag av pepperkakehus til miniatyrbyen Bergen.

Hærverket på Pepperkakebyen i Bergen har opprørt bergenserne, som søndag mobiliserte til en ny bakerunde slik at Pepperkakebyen kan åpnes enda større enn vanlig.
