The fishing cabins are a testament to the standard that this type of building had at a given time, as well as to the evolution of that standard. The layout, consisting of an outer room for equipment and tools and a room with a stove, table, benches, and sleeping spaces, has been the prevailing solution for several hundred years and is clearly evident here. Previously, there were open trusses and timber walls, but over time the cabins were paneled both externally and internally. For example, the area for storing fishing lines was moved to a separate compartment, although this work was often done in the same room where meals were prepared and eaten, and where fishermen slept—often until after World War II.

This evolution can also be traced in these cabins, making them an important testament to the development not only of the buildings themselves but also of the hygienic and social conditions for the fishermen. The traditional names given to these cabins carry stories of belonging and social life as well.
