White-tailed eagles, the local guardians, protectors, and symbols of good fortune, look at Paamiut from such a height that it looks like a bright spot in the middle of white snow.

The nature of Paamiut impresses with its incredible beauty, detachment, and inaccessibility, which generates even more interest. Smiling locals make a friendly impression from the first minute. It seems that you have been waiting there for a long time. Everyone is ready to hug, kiss, and invite you to their home for dinner.

By the way, speaking of these very houses. This is one attraction of Paamiut, made up of many smaller ones. The city was founded almost 300 years ago: it's old enough for this place. It is surprising that in such severe weather conditions, all the buildings look as if the builders have just finished applying the last layer of paint.

Although it is not officially designated, most of the houses in Paamiut can be combined into a museum. All of them are located in the historic center of the city. Besides, the selection of historical buildings is very interesting.

The heart of the collection is a beautiful church. It looks more like a work of art. It is officially recognized as the most beautiful church in Paamiut. The church was built in 1909 entirely of wood, which is problematic and expensive for Greenland. This is a fairly large building by local standards with red walls and a green roof. You can only understand that a beautiful building is a church by the cross on the roof.

After praying and admiring the skills of local architects, you can go to the Paamiut office center. It is a yellow two-story house with a stone base and green shutters.

You should pay attention to the stone buildings built in the 1850s. They are quite short as if they have grown out of the ground. You will never believe that this one-story white stone building of the XIX century housed a hospital once.
