 Bergen Fire Station by FletteMette
A new fire station is under construction - ever since 1916 there's been a debate about where, how and when it should be built - and they've *finally* made up their minds...;o) When the new fire station is finished, the old one will house a fire museum. Leave a Comment Address: Rådstuplassen 9

 Johanneskirken by FletteMette
Johanneskirken has the highest church tower (61 m) in town, and is visible from large parts of the city centre. I used to live right next to this church, and I can assure you that the *bells* of Johanneskirken are functioning *very* well and can probably be heard in the entire city centre on early Sunday mornings...;o) The church was built in 1894, and is said to be one of the finest neo-Gothic churches in Norway - this is also the largest church in Bergen, with a seating capacity of 1250. Altar painted by Marcus Grønvold.
Concerts are are quite often held in Johanneskirken, check with the Tourist Information Office.
Organ recitals on Wednesday evenings (19.30) in summer, free entrance.
The church is open to visitors Tuesday - Friday 10 - 14. Sunday service at 11. Leave a Comment Address: Sydnesplass 5Directions: The city centre - on the hill overlooking Torgalmenningen, the city's main square.

Kong Oscars Gate is one of the most nice and old streets of Bergen. Along the sides of the street there are old wood buildings. In one of them there is a McDonald. Some of these buildings lost their original use like a house and nowday they are a souvenirs shops and restaurants. To walk along this street is to do a step back in the time!!!

The Cathedral of Bergen is a mix of architecture from throughout its long and sometimes turbolent history (as you can see from the bullet holes in the tower wall!!!). The oldest parts are the choir and the lower part of the tower, built in 13th century Gothic style. The domkirke is dedicated to S.Olav. Leave a Comment

The history of the Church of the Cross goes back to 1181 when the Holy Church of the Cross was first erected. The today cruciform plan was designed in the 17th century when the church was extended. The church have been many reconstructions and restorations throught the ages, and today it is a living example of several periods: a Romanesque nave, fragments of late Gothic, Reinaissance in the tower, Baroque in the wings, cast-iron windows from about the middle of the last century.
The church has three church bells. They were installed in the tower when it was rebuilt in 1743. The inscriptions on the big and medium sized bells show that they were made in Amsterdam in 1707. The smallest bell has been recast in 1889 and has simple ornementation and no inscription apart from the name of the founder and the year. Leave a Comment

In front of the Torget there is the Vagsalm Gate, a nice square with old buildings. In the middle of the square there is the statue of Ludvig Holberg (1684-1754) made by John Borjeson. On the right side of the square there is the tourist information office. Leave a Comment Address: Vagsalm Gate
