Sjit helvedes kåken, Historic house in Manndalen, Gáivuotna-Kåfjord-Kaivuono, Norway.
The wooden structure stands as a representation of post-war housing in northern Norway, built from materials left behind by German forces.
Anton Sjåbakken constructed this house after German forces destroyed his original home during their retreat from Norway in 1944.
The name of the house comes from Sjåbakken's protest letter to authorities when they demanded payment for the salvaged construction materials.
Visitors can arrange tours of the house by contacting the Museum of Northern Peoples through email or telephone at a cost of 100 NOK.
The Norwegian government assessed the house at 2700 kroner, equal to one year's salary, threatening to confiscate war reparations if unpaid.
