Built in the 1560s by Governor Erik Rosenkrantz, this iconic tower stands proudly at Bergenhus Fortress near the harbor in Bergen, Norway. Its stone walls once guarded the city, and its distinctive Renaissance design still impresses visitors today. You can explore its winding staircases, peek into historic chambers, and enjoy sweeping views of the harbor from the top floors. The tower also houses a small museum detailing its storied past, including Norwegian royal ties and wartime roles. Conveniently located near Bryggen and other local attractions, it’s an excellent stop for remembering Bergen’s medieval heritage. Adequate signage and guided tours are available.
