The Hall of Haraldr Hárfagri

Archeologists think they have found the ruins of the Great Hall of King Harald I Fairhair (Haraldr Hárfagri) at Avaldsnes in west Norway.

It was the site of the halls of local chieftans and then the Kings of Norway for almost 3000 years until the settlement was burned by the Hansa Merchant League in 1398.
