Bilstadhuset
Some 92 homes, nearly two-thirds of the original town, were gutted by fire in 1843, after which Egersund was reconstructed with wide streets to thwart the spread of future fires. Most buildings in the old town date from this period. The Bilstadhuset still has its original timberwork and includes a sailmaker's loft upstairs.
The house is not open to the public, but the tourist office hands out a leaflet Strolling in Egersund which has a map and informative commentary.
