Dragestil (lit. 'Dragon Style') is a style of design and architecture that originated in Norway and was widely used principally between 1880 and 1910. [1] It is a variant of the more embracing National Romantic style and an expression of Romantic nationalism.

History

[edit]

The foremost sources of inspiration for the Dragestil style were the Viking and medieval art and architecture of Scandinavia. It had roots in the preservation of stave churches and the recent excavation of historic relics such as the Tune, Gokstad and Oseberg ships.[2]

It often featured Norse motifs, such as serpents and dragons, hence its popular appellation. Important proponents in the modern era included Norwegian architects Holm Hansen Munthe and Balthazar Lange.[3][4]

In Germany, the Kongsnæs' Sailors Station [de] in Potsdam and the Rominten Hunting Lodge were erected for Kaiser Wilhelm II.[citation needed]

Characteristic features

[edit]
  • Exposed timber walls, often tarred on the exterior with varnished interiors
  • Decoration in the form of dragon heads
  • Often steep roofs and big eaves
