The Hanseatic Bryggen

Visiting The Hanseatic Museum, Schøtstuene gives you an idea of the life and work of Hanseatic merchants on Bryggen from 1360 to 1761!

We offer guided tours, lectures, treasure hunts and activities for all ages. In our garden you may enjoy a packed lunch in a historically significant environment. Schøtstuene lets you explore the life of the Hanseatic merchants, and the assembly rooms they inhabited as a part of the Hanseatic history.

Guided tours start at Schøtstuene and continue through the narrow passageways of the World Heritage Site Bryggen. Tours end outside Bredsgården, where our museum gift shop is located. Here you will find items, books and historical images connected to Bergen and the Hanseatic history.
