Håkonshallen, Medieval royal hall in Bergen, Norway
The stone structure features three floors, including a grand ceremonial space on the top level and administrative chambers in the middle section.
King Håkon Håkonsson commissioned the construction of this stone hall between 1247 and 1261 to serve as a royal residence for ceremonies.
The hall maintains its ceremonial function by hosting royal dinners, concerts, and official events within the preserved medieval stone walls.
Located within Bergenhus Fortress complex, visitors can explore the hall through guided tours that explain its architectural and historical elements.
During the wedding celebration of Magnus Håkonsson in 1261, the hall accommodated 2000 guests across three buildings for royal festivities.
