Ware houses

Next to the riverbanks are the warehouses. Nowadays in use as antique stores but the used to be for storing goods, to be shipped off to the rest of Europe like salt and dried fish.

boat inside

I sneaked a picture on the inside. This boat is to conmemorate a ship that has sunk somewhere.

You can see the white walls and the simple interior. The gallery was quite low which made a bit dark.
