To best way to get to know Svalbard is to dive into the past of Huset, the most beloved building in Longyearbyen, the northernmost town in the world.

For the seventh issue of our Dear Coast series, we discover how this special place has played such an important role in Longyearbyen’s community, at 78 degrees north.

This building carries the stories of Longyearbyen within its walls. People have gathered here – to worship, to play, to sing, to eat – since it opened in 1951.

Huset’s latest role as a fine-dining restaurant is a fitting next chapter in the story of the building – and in the story of the northernmost town in the world, which suddenly seems to be on everyone’s travel wish list! If you’re planning a trip to Longyearbyen, make sure you book a table. There’s a story behind every mouthful.
