Ålesund: The house that stood when everything around it burnt down!


Ålesund is considered Norway's most beautiful town, and is visited by millions of tourists every year.

But did you know that the town burnt down on a cold January night in 1904?

There was one wooden house which stood, even though everything around it burnt down.

In it lived a Christian man to whom an angel had appeared the night before and told him that the whole town would burn, but God would spare his house.

He stayed in the house the whole time, whilst all his neighbour's houses burnt down.

A testimony of God's protection for His children when everything burns around.
