This neighbourhood of wooden houses represents a special cultural environment which is an important and recognized part of the worlds cultural heritage programme, with special housing qualities with respect to varied buildings, human scale and dimensions, and historical continuity. All this adds to Trondheims special cultural identity. Bakklandet was first built in the 17th century, but was partly destroyed when the Swedish under General Armfeldt beleaguered the city. Reconstruction took place soon after as small houses were erected, for the most part occupied by seamen, fishermen and labourers.
