Sverresborg Fortress

Sverresborg Fortress is a medieval fortress and former castle situated in the Norwegian city of Bergen. It was built by King Sverre Sigurdsson in the mid 1180s and has a long history as a royal seat, episcopal see, and military seat of power. The fortress has been rebuilt several times after being destroyed by enemies and has been used for various purposes, including as a residence, a military base, and a prison. Today, the fortress is a military area, but it is open to the public and offers a glimpse into Norway's rich history. The area is also home to several museums, including the Bergenhus Fortress Museum, which showcases the history of the fortress and the city of Bergen. Visitors can explore the fortress grounds, which include the remains of the medieval castle, as well as several other historic buildings and monuments
