Historic Churches of Bergen

Bergen’s religious architecture spans nearly a millennium, from the Romanesque stone arches of St. Mary’s Church—the city's oldest remaining building—to the 13th-century ruins of Nonneseter Abbey. This collection features significant sites like the historic St. George’s Church, linked to the city's leprosy hospital, and Nykirken, rebuilt several times on medieval foundations. The list also includes modern landmarks like the 1989 Bergen Deaf Church, illustrating the evolution of the city's parish life and architectural styles from the Middle Ages to the present day.
