Step back into medieval Bergen and explore a city shaped by faith, pilgrimage and powerful religious institutions.

Starting at St Mary’s Church, Bergen’s best-preserved medieval church, this guided walk follows the traces of pilgrims, monks and townspeople through the medieval city.

Along the way, we visit the sites of lost churches, monasteries and shrines, the former cathedral, the St Sunniva Monument and St. Jørgen’s Church, part of the historic hospital that cared for people with leprosy for over 600 years.

Discover hidden sacred places, hear stories of saints, kings and pilgrims, and learn how the Reformation changed Bergen forever.

Join us on a journey through the spiritual heart of medieval Bergen and uncover the traces that remain today.
