Fodor's Review:
The buildings here date from the mid-13th century. Håkonshallen, a royal ceremonial hall erected during the reign of Håkon Håkonsson between 1247 and 1261, was badly damaged by the explosion of a German ammunition ship in 1944, but was restored by 1961. Erected in the 1560s by the governor of Bergen Castle (Bergenhus), Erik Rosenkrantz, Rosenkrantztårnet (Rosenkrantz Tower) served as a combined residence and fortified tower.
