Schøtstuene

About

The Hanseatic merchants are long gone, and no longer part of the hustle and bustle of Bryggen, but you can still experience this unique place, which has contributed so much to making Bergen the city it is today.

About

The beautiful Schøtstuene are unique in a global context and a reminder of a bygone age. The Hanseatic merchants met in these premises to share meals and hold meetings and important discussions.

The historical surroundings provide an insight into the everyday life of the merchants at Schøtstuene, their impressive trading network and the history of the buildings themselves.

The Schøtstuene assembly rooms are situated right beside the Hanseatic merchants’ main church, St. Mary’s Church, and are set in a charming garden. The museum has a universal design.

A dinner or reception in Schøtstuene provides a unique historical setting for your event. The three connected Hanseatic banquet halls from the 16th century can accommodate 150 guests for a seated event and approximately 200 for a reception.

A bit disappointing for the price. We weren't able to do a tour because of timing. There were several meeting rooms which were ok. Some were not historically accurate. There was some explanation... Read full review
