Elsesro, Heritage mansion and museum in Bergen, Norway

Elsesro encompasses a main building, caretaker residence, henhouse, and dovecote, situated in the Ytre Sandviken district of Bergen Municipality.

The property, purchased in 1784 by shipyard master Rasmus Rolfsen from Kristiansand, served as a shipyard and later transformed into a recreational estate.

The site now functions as part of Gamle Bergen Museum, preserving architectural elements and offering exhibits about Bergen's urban development through centuries.

The main building houses the Gamle Bergen Tracteursted restaurant, allowing visitors to experience traditional Norwegian dining within historical surroundings.

The park features an 1820s Swiss-style building, potentially representing the earliest example of this architectural style in Norway.
