St John’s Church
St John’s Church rises above central Bergen in red neo-Gothic stone. Visit for its prominent silhouette and the outlook from Sydneshaugen, while restoration affects the building.
Why go
The church’s high tower and elevated position make it a useful landmark when walking between the university quarter and the centre. The present restoration may change what is visible and when the interior can be entered, so the exterior should be the dependable part of the plan. It offers a later architectural contrast to the medieval cathedral and St Mary’s Church.
What to look for
Neo-Gothic red-stone exterior
Elevated Sydneshaugen setting
Useful to know
Restoration may affect interior access and exterior views.
