The Walde House
The Waldehuset got the name” the miracle house” after the city fire in 1904. Anders Nord, who lived in the house on that fateful night of January 23rd in 1904, stated in the aftermath that he had been visited by an angel the day before the city fire.
And the angel stated –”Fear not! I have been sent from the Almighty God to tell you that in this night, this whole city will be burnt to ashes for the many and large sins committed in it.
But God has given you mercy – and you and your wife shall not go outside and not carry any of your belongings outside, for all that will carried outside will burn. I will keep you, and nothing evil will befall you.”
Anders Nord did as the angel told him, and stayed in the Waldehuset as the city fire ravaged around him. His wife, Regine, who was not as strong in her faith as Anders himself, carried all of the furniture from the house into the city park during the night.
When morning arrived, and the fire died down, the Waldehuset was left among the ruins, but the furniture carried outside, was burnt to ashes.
