Bergenhus Fortress 🇳🇴
#myhiddengems
During my summer vacation, I visited the Bergenhus Fortress in Bergen, Norway, and it was an incredible experience. This historic fortress, one of the oldest and best-preserved in Norway, offers a fascinating glimpse into the region's past. The entrance fee was around 100 NOK, which felt like a bargain given the amount of history and stunning views it provides.
The fortress complex includes several medieval buildings, including the Rosenkrantz Tower and Håkon's Hall. Both are beautifully preserved and give you a real sense of what life was like during the medieval period. Climbing up the tower offers panoramic views of Bergen and the surrounding fjords, which are absolutely breathtaking.
Nearby, you can explore the vibrant Bryggen Wharf with its colorful wooden houses, or take a leisurely stroll through the nearby parks. The combination of historical depth and scenic beauty makes Bergenhus Fortress a highlight of any visit to Bergen.
Overall, it’s a must-see for history enthusiasts and anyone wanting to soak in some of Bergen’s rich heritage.

Visiting Bergenhus Fortress
#2024wish
One of the things I like to do in Europe is to visit their ancient structures. In 2023, I got to visit such structure when I was in Bergen Norway to visit Bergenhus Fortress. It was drizzling that day and thus the feeling when I visited Bergenhus Fortress was abit emotional.
In 2024, I hope to have the chance again to visit other historical structures in other parts of Europe.

I like to see historical castles and fortresses. Thus, whenever I am overseas, I will try to look for them. I got the chance again recently when I was in Bergen Norway. The Fortress I got to see was called Bergenhus Fortress. It's located near Bryggen. The castle is one of the oldest and best preserved stone fortifications in Norway, with it being built in 1240s and opened in 1514. It was raining at the time of my visit and added some emotions to me.
