Kristiansand is the largest city in the south of Norway. It was grounded by the Danish and Norwegian King Christian IV in 1641.
Kristiansand is a �summer city�, large amounts of tourists visit every summer and �Dyreparken� � the Zoo � is the most visited tourist attraction in Norway, apart from Holmenkollen in Oslo.
The town is known for it�s square city centre and the oldest part of the town is called �Posebyen�. This part has the largest collection of low, coherent tree houses in Northern Europe.
Why it�s called �Posebyen� is somewhat unclear. One explanation is that the name is from the French �repos� which means �resting place�. This because the inhabitants in this part of town made good money by accommodating soldiers from the fortress.
There are many historical houses in Posebyen. Here are some of them.
