Restoring the Quarantine Wall

In Bendiksbukta at Odderøya, the Parks Department is currently restoring a stone wall known as the Quarantine Wall.

The wall was set up between 1800 and 1810 to keep ships from places affected by plague at bay. Before being allowed to unload their goods, ships were quarantined outside the wall for up to 40 days.

For years, the wall has whithered away, which could lead to dangerous situations as thousands of people gather there for the annual Quart Festival.

The Parks Department has, therefore, started restoring the wall to its former self, and soon the entire upper half of the wall will once again be safe.
