det som Arsenal. Adgangen er aaben ved Henvendelse
til Arsenalforvalteren. — I Øst for Bergenkus, paa
Toppen af en træbeplantet Bakke, hvor der af og til
i Godveirsaftener om Sommeren gives Hornmusik og
afbrændes Fyrværkeri, ligger Fortet Sverresborg, hvor
mangen haard Kamp bar staaet mellem Birkebeinere
og Baglere; af Kong Sverres gamle Mure findes intet
Spor.
Kirker. St. Mariæ Kirlee ved Øvregade er
Bergens ældste Kirke; den er bygget i Rundbuestil før
Kong Sverres Tid og nævnes ofte i Sagaerne, første
Gang 1188; efter flere Ildebrande er den senest
opbygget efter Branden 1248. I 1206 stod ovenfor Kirken
en vælgig Kamp mellom Birkebeinerhøvdingen Haakon
Galin og Baglerne; de faldne Kuvlunger og
Øieskeg-ger bleve begravne paa dens Kirkegaard. Ved
Tydskernes tiltagende Voldsombeder tiltvang de sig
efterhaanden etslags Eiendomsret til Kirken, indtil den
1766 kom under Kronen; den tydske Gudstjeneste
vedblev dog at bestaa indtil de allersidste Aar; nu er
Gudstjenesten norsk. I den tydske Tid blev Kirken
belemret med en Masse uskjønne Malerier og andre
Prydelser, som gav den et meget barokt Præg; ved
en gjennemgribende Restauration er den nu bleven
ført tilbage til sin oprindelige Skikkelse. Korskirken
ved Vaagsbunden og Domkirken ved Kong Oskars
Gade (oprindelig St. Olafs Kirke, efter Branden i 1248
forenet med et Graabrødrekloster), begge byggede i
det 12te Aarhundrede, have ligeledes flere Gange været
hærjede af Ild og have nu kun lidet igjen af deres
oprindelige Udseende. Hospitalskirken ved Kong
Bergen.
long row of lofty, white-painted wharehouses. whicb,
with long, dark, and narrow passages, extends up to
Övregaden. The houses were erected after the great
conflagration in 1702, and have preserved much of
their original Hanseatic style. They are used at
present as storehouses for Nordland produce, and as
offices, — "Stuer," as they are called, — for the
Nordland traders. In the "Stævnens Tider," when the
Nordland folk are in town with their produce, and as many
as 100 Jægter have to be cleared in the course of a
fortnight, the bustle and press of business is well worth
seeing; your olefactory organs must not be too
sensitive however, for the stench of fish and oil "is a caution."
lOO Beyond the Tydskebryggen is the dockyard,
Braadbænken, and the Fortress of Sfcrgenlius, where,
in former times, the finest buildings of the city were
congregated. All that now remains are the naked walls
of King Haakon Haakonsön’s stone-built Hall
Haakons-liallen. From 1688 till a few years since it was turned
into a corn-magazine for the convict-prison; now it is
empty. A subscription has been opened, and money
has been freely given to restore this interpsting relict
of the past. Near by stands the famous Walkendorffs
Taarn (tower), built in part by Haakon Haakon son,
completed by Erik Rosenkrantz, 1565. Christopher
Walkendorff planted cannon round the roof to keep
off the German encroachers: the building is now
turned into an arsenal. Admittance may be obtained
on application to the "Arsenalforvalteren." — East of
Bergenhus, at the top of a wooded hill, where, in
summer-time and in good weather, there is music in
