Christinegård, Manor house in Sandviken, Bergen, Norway.

The grand manor house stands on a hillside with views over Byfjorden, featuring architectural elements from the Empire period of the 1830s.

Built in 1763 for Modesta Hansdatter Formann, the property changed ownership in 1822 when Bergen merchant Michael Djurhus Prahl purchased the estate.

The residence served as the official home for the Bishop of the Diocese of Bjørgvin between 1934 and 1958, marking its religious significance.

The property maintains its original structural integrity through careful preservation efforts, allowing visitors to examine authentic 18th-century architectural details.

Archaeologist Asbjørn Herteig resided at Christinegård from 1960 until 2006, adding an academic dimension to the property's varied historical functions.
