Seahuts and Pier in Birtavarre

There`s few examples of Kven and Sea-Sami building traditions left, after the burnout by the Nazist during World War II. These seahuts are therefor an important physical heritage of the coastal culture in the high north Scandinavia. The Kven and sea Sami harvested the resources in the sea and these huts were used as sheds for their equipment, and sometimes as storage for smaller boats.
