Prague was once a big European center for the mould-carved cookie art tied to this Christmas treat. Since 1991, the people of Bergen, Norway have built a whole city out of these each December, called Pepperkakebyen. What sweet building are they making?

Question

Accepted Answer

Gingerbread house. Gingerbread houses became a favourite European Christmas tradition after the Brothers Grimm published Hansel and Gretel in 1812. Prague was one of the historic centres for the mould-carved cookie art tied to the tradition, and Bergen's Pepperkakebyen, built since 1991, is billed as the world's biggest gingerbread town.
