It was extensively reconstructed in the 1990s, with wood-fronted buildings in an old-fashioned style similar to the warehouses, painted ocher yellow and red, housing shops and a number of restaurants. There are wooden piers on both sides of Gravanekanalen, where there is a bustling boat traffic in summer, and bridges over the canal give the area an almost Venetian look.
