Bergenhus Fortress

Bergenhus Fortress is located at the entrance of Bergen harbour.

The castle is one of the oldest and best preserved stone fortifications in Norway. The fortress contains buildings dating as far back as the 1240s, as well as later constructions built as recently as World War II. In medieval times, the area of the present-day Bergenhus Fortress was known as Holmen and contained the royal residence in Bergen, as well as a cathedral, several churches, the bishop's residence, and a Dominican monastery. Excavations have revealed foundations of buildings believed to date back to before 1100, which might have been erected by King Olav Kyrre. In the 13th century, until 1299, Bergen was the capital of Norway and Holmen was thus the main seat of Norway's rulers. It was first enclosed by stone walls in the 1240s. Håkon’s Hall was built between 1247 and 1261 by Håkon Håkonsson. It was the largest and most imposing building of the royal residency in the 13th-century when Bergen was the political centre of Norway. Håkon’s Hall is 750 years old and was built as a royal residence and banqueting hall. When Magnus Håkonsson Lagabøte married the Danish princess Ingeborg in 1261, 2000 guests were invited. At that time Bergen was Norway’s largest and most important town, and Håkon’s Hall was the site of major national events, such as the drawing up of Norway’s first complete set of laws.

ST. Mary's Church

The construction of St Mary"s Church (Mariakirken) started in the 1130s or 40s and completed around 1180, making the church the oldest remaining building in Bergen.The church has been in continuous use since early medieval period.
