Kongsgård, Stavanger, Heritage site in Stavanger, Norway
The Gothic masonry basement of Kongsgård stands next to Domkirken cathedral as one of the few remaining medieval structures in Stavanger.
Originally established around 1125 as a bishop's residence, Kongsgård served as an administrative center for religious and legal proceedings throughout the Middle Ages.
The estate contained a large banquet hall called 'julehallen' where bishops held Christmas and Easter celebrations for the community during the medieval period.
The property underwent multiple transformations, from a bishop's residence to a military garrison, before becoming an educational institution in 1824.
The basement foundations date back to the late 13th century, constructed during the same period as the Gothic choir in the adjacent Domkirken cathedral.
