Step into 750 years of history as you explore Håkon's Hall, a site that has housed kings and queens, governors, and hardened prisoners. Discover the hall's journey from its medieval grandeur as the royal court on Holmen, through centuries of decline, to its impressive restoration after World War II.

In the late 1000s, the first building on Holmen was the Christ Church, alongside a bishop's residence and monastery
In the early 1100s, a royal manor was built in wood, and in the 1200s, King Håkon Håkonsson reconstructed it in stone
In 1270, King Magnus Lagabøte, Håkon's son, built the sea-facing fortress Kastellet, now part of the Rosenkrantz Tower
By the 1500s, the name Bergenhus was introduced when the royal estate was transformed into a military fortress
After centuries of neglect and use as storage, restoration began in the 1800s. Following a devastating explosion in 1944, the buildings were restored to their current majestic appearance

Meeting point at the reception at the Håkon's Hall.
