---

Rorbu is a Norwegian traditional type of seasonal house used by fishermen, normally located in a fishing village. The style and term is used along the coast of Western Norway and Northern Norway, and is most common on the Lofoten Islands. The use of rorbu for fishing has diminished and the style of housing is now largely used to rent out to tourists.
