Gardens, parks and designed landscapes.

Alvøen Manor Gardens

Alvøen lies west of central Bergen and combines a manor, gardens, parkland and a historic industrial settlement.

Bymuseet identifies an avenue, a pavilion, an orchard and an English-style park among the estate’s landscape features. The gardens have changed through successive periods of cultivation. The museum currently describes the garden as open, with access to the house limited to groups and pre-booked guided visits.
