Gamle Bergen hovedbrannstasjon, Red brick fire station building in Bergen, Norway.
The former Bergen fire station features a prominent red brick facade, a tower structure, and stands at Rådstuplassen 9 in central Bergen.
Built in 1888 as an extension of Hagerupgården, the fire station was designed by architect Peter Andreas Blix to accommodate 50 firefighters and horse drivers.
The building served as a central point for Bergen firefighting operations, where horses assisted in emergencies and also supported local brewery transportation needs.
The station incorporated stables, storage facilities, and living quarters for firefighters, with a courtyard that evolved from slate stones to cobblestones and asphalt.
The last fire department horse, Normann, departed in 1936, yet the garage ceiling retained its emergency horse harnessing pulley system from the pre-motorized era.
