Guided tour on Vågsberget

Stad Vågsberget

Welcome inside

You can join us on a guided tour thru the stately main building and krambua - with a compresensive variety of goods from the period.

The main building

This is where the owners of the trading post lived and received their guests. The house is an elegant representation building that highlighted the difference in standing between the owners and the local community. Several men and women have managed a successful trading and guesthouse business here through the years.

The house dates from around 1800, and was built according to Bergen architectural ideals. You will find examples of several different styles both outside and inside. Many of the original interior surfaces have been preserved. During the summer season, you can join our guided tour through the building and learn more about the styles, the people who lived here and what the house has been used for after the trading post era ended.  

Krambua

The General Store (Krambua) is among the oldest Vågsberget buildings. Vågsberget managers have traded with locals and travelling fishermen here since the 1700s. Join us inside the store to browse the selection of interesting trade goods, while our guides tell the story of Vågsberget as a historical trading post.
