This experience seamlessly blends the historical and modern aspects of "Huset". You'll enjoy a guided tour of the historical building and taste the flavors of the Arctic with bites from our renowned restaurant's kitchen, served with alcohol-free drinks prepared by our sommelier. Huset is a renowned landmark for anyone who has spent time in the polar outpost of Longyearbyen. Built during the mid-20th century as part of Longyearbyen's renaissance, it served as an assembly hall or "forsamlingshus." Built on neutral ground, away from the town's other buildings where the class divide between officials and miners was strong, Huset has hosted numerous events and services over the years. Your knowledgeable host will guide you through its rich history. For various reasons, Huset has been – and continues to be – an institution in Longyearbyen. It has served as a post office, school, church, and cinema at different times, making it a pivotal location for many events. Today, Huset remains a preferred venue for events and is also a must-visit for culinary enthusiasts.
