The Hanseatic Museum is one of the landmarks of Bergen's bayside area. Here you can enter the only house on the old wharf in which the original interiors have been preserved. In the period between 1350 and 1750, the buildings on the wharf served as base for the German stockfish tradesmen of the Hanseatic League. Taking a walk through the building, which dates from 1704, is a unique experience providing insight as to what life was like for the Hanseatics of the wharf.

A visit of the Hanseatic Museum
The Hanseatic Museum was opened in 1872 and contains two trading houses; one waterfront house and one reconstructed back house.

Each house had rooms for many different purposes, i.e. storage rooms, dining room, offices and bedrooms. Most of the houses on the wharf were laid out in the same fashion.

All use of open fire within the tenements was prohibited, in order to prevent fires. The houses were therefore cold and dark.

Here you may visit some of the rooms. You may also take a closer look at some of the artefacts that can be found there.


The Schøtstuene is located next to St. Mary's church. This museum is a collection of four assembly rooms (schøtstue in Norwegian) and two cook-houses from different parts of the wharf. At present, three of the assembly rooms and one of the cook-houses are open to the public. Some of the rooms are original, while others have been reconstructed. The assembly rooms were the scenes of the social life of the Hanseatics living on the wharf. Here they would take hot meals during the winter season. In addition, the rooms served as classrooms, courtrooms, meeting rooms and party venues.

A visit of the Schøtstuene
Each block, or tenement, on the wharf had its own assembly room and a cook-house. These were located behind the block. Here the inhabitants of the tenement would gather and take their hot meals, for instance, during wintertime.

They also served as courtrooms, meeting rooms and party venues. The assembly rooms were the only rooms to be heated up. Opened in 1939, the Schøtstuene Museum is a collection of original and reconstructed assembly rooms.
