A ''kontor'' was a foreign trading post of the Hanseatic League.〔The word ''kontor'' means office in Norwegian and other Scandinavian languages, while the word ''kantoor'' is in use in the Dutch language for office.〕 In addition to the major ''kontore'' in London (Steelyard), Ipswich, Bruges, Bergen (Bryggen), and Novgorod (Peterhof), some ports had a representative merchant and a warehouse. Of all the ''kontor'' buildings, only Bergen's ''kontor'', known as Bryggen in Norway, has survived until the present day. The Hanseatic kontor at Bryggen was closed in 1754 and replaced by a "Norwegian kontor", run by Norwegian citizens, but still with a large element of German immigrants. Bergen's ''kontor'' is on the UNESCO list of the World Cultural Heritage sites. The Hanseatic Warehouse in King's Lynn, England, survives – but it was converted into offices in 1971. ==References== fr:Comptoir 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「kontor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
