Alvøen

The Alvøen manor presents rooms furnished in 1800s style, surrounded by extensive gardens with straight paths and rose borders along the waterfront.

The Fasmer family acquired the property in 1760s, transforming a former gunpowder mill into Norway's first paper factory that operated until 1981.

The museum exhibits document the development of Norwegian industrial communities through artifacts, photographs, and personal objects from workers and owners.

The museum operates during weekends from spring to autumn, with guided tours available upon reservation through Bergen City Museum.

The industrial complex includes 40 preserved worker cottages, a community hall, and a paper mill that produced specialty paper for Norwegian banknotes.
