Close to the Haakon's Hall there is the Rosenkrantz Tower. It was built in 1560 by Erik Rosenkrantz, and it was used as a combined residence and fortified tower. Earlier structures that King Magnus the Lawmender's keep from about 1260 and Jorgen Hansson's defences from about 1520, were incorporated by Erik Rosenkrantz. In 1944 the Bergehus was damaged due an explsion on a German ship, it was later resotred and now it is magnific!!! Leave a Comment Address: Bergenhus

Hakon's hall was built during the reign of King Hakon Hakonsson between 1247 and 1261. It was the largest and biggest building of the royal residency in the 13th century when Bergen was the political centre of Norway. It was restored at the end of 19th century and inside it you can see some paintings made by Gerhard Munthe. Leave a Comment Address: Bergenhus

 Haakonshallen, Norway, 2004 by arantha Haakonshallen (Haakon's Hall) has taken its name from its builder King Haakon Haakonsson, and has been established in 13th century for wedding and coronation purposes. In 13th century Haakonshallen being the political centre, was the largest and the most impressive royal building in Norway. In 1944 German ship destroyed it and only the walls remained. However, it's still the biggest secular medieval building in Norway and it's definitely worth seeing.

The name Rosenkrantz is the name of the man who erected it, Erik Rosenkrantz, Governor of Bergen castle. it served two purposes: first it was Rosenkrantz's living quarters, and secondly a fortified tower for the preservation of the city.

by cheekymarieh The hall was built between 1247 and 1261. It was built for the King Hakon Hakonsson when the kings of Norway ruled from the city.. Nearby is the Rosenkrantzarnet that has winding spiral staircases. Both have had to have much rebuilding work as they were destroyed during a 1944 explosion of a German ammunition ship.

Great buildings and a calm garden where you can just relax... A friend I met in the Youth Hostel in Copenhagen, Hege, gave me then some tips and this was one of them. Leave a Comment Address: BergenDirections: If you are at Bryggen simply keep walking towards the fjord (harbor)...
