Bergenhus Fortress
Bergenhus Fortress is a historic stone fortress at the entrance to Bergen harbour in Norway, containing medieval buildings and later additions. Its surviving principal medieval structures are the large royal feast hall (Haakon's Hall) and a 13th-century defensive tower later known as Rosenkrantz Tower; the site remains a preserved and restored complex used for public events and visits.

As it stood in 1275
The shape it held in its prime.
A low, crenellated stone fortress stretching along the harbourfront, dominated by a long rectangular medieval stone hall with a steep, copper-green pitched roof and a battlemented parapet, and by a tall multi-storey stone keep with small slit windows and a castellated top. Built of roughly coursed grey stone, the buildings sit directly on the quayside with an open inner courtyard (Koengen) behind them and a wooded hill rising immediately inland.
