Bergenhus Fortress, Medieval fortress at Bergen harbor entrance, Norway
The fortress contains two main structures: Haakon's Hall, a three-story stone building, and Rosenkrantz Tower, featuring military architecture from the 1270s.
Construction began in the 1240s when Bergen served as Norway's capital, with the fortress functioning as a royal residence until the late 13th century.
The Bergenhus Fortress Museum displays three exhibitions about women in defense, local resistance during World War II, and Bergen's press in crisis times.
The fortress grounds remain open daily from 6:30 AM to 11:00 PM, with guided tours available for groups through advance reservation at +47 55 54 63 87.
During the 1665 Battle of Vågen, the fortress protected Dutch ships seeking refuge from English warships in Bergen's harbor.
