Stalheim Hotel, Vossestrand, Norway

what a view from the lounge & balcony... and inside it seems like time stood still...
the stalheim hotel is located 36 km east of voss and was first opened on 15 May 1885 with 10 single rooms. it burned down in 1900 and was rebuilt, a new fire in 1902 destroyed it once more. in 1906-07 the meinhardts hotel in voss was demolished and moved to stalheim, as the third hotel on the site. some years later, the entire hotel was moved 37 m towards the abyss and expanded with a large new wing.
during wwII in 1943, the german organization lebensborn established the stalheim orphanage at the stalheim tourist hotel with one hundred child places. in 1959, the hotel burned down for the third time. this time, 23 people died in the explosive fire, better known as the stalheim fire. the current hotel was built in 1960, expanded in 1966, and now has 124 rooms and space for 218 guests.
