Situated on the eastern shore of the Byfjorden, Bergenhus is known for its rich cultural heritage, stunning architecture, and picturesque waterfront views. The district takes its name from the iconic Bergenhus Fortress, a medieval fortress that has stood proudly for over 700 years.

Today, the fortress houses several museums, including the Bergenhus Museum, which showcases the history and cultural significance of the region.
