Cần Quan Tâm

This quiet stone marks a place of fear and fire. Between 1550 and 1700, around 350 people—mostly women—were executed here, accused of witchcraft. Stand here long enough, and it’s not hard to imagine the smoke, the panic, and the deadly power of accusation in Bergen’s past.

Fredriksberg Fort

High above Nordnes, this fortress once guarded Bergen—but it also held prisoners within its walls. In the 18th century, it was used as a place of confinement, where criminals and the condemned were locked away overlooking the city they’d left behind. By night, the quiet stone walls feel far from peaceful—echoing with the presence of those who were once kept here, with no way out.
