Kysthospitalet i Hagevik

Kysthospitalet i Hagevik is a medical facility in Bjørnafjorden that specializes in orthopedic surgery. The site includes a classical main building surrounded by an English garden and now serves as a research center.

The hospital was founded in 1893 to treat tuberculosis patients, especially children. Treatment combined the therapeutic effects of sea air with medical procedures, a common approach for this disease at that time.

The main building retains its English garden and original late 19th-century design, reflecting how medical institutions of that era were shaped. Walking through the grounds, you notice how the layout connected patients with nature as part of the healing approach.

The facility is located at Hagaviksbakken 25 and is easy to reach. Parking is available on site, and visitors can use the guest network to stay connected while exploring the grounds.

The facility is connected to the University of Bergen and serves as a training ground for medical professionals in various specializations. This academic role makes it more than just a clinical institution.
