!["Alvøen is the site one of Norway’s oldest industrial communities and one of the best preserved industrial locations. In 1626, King Christian IV of Denmarkgranted the right to establish a gunpowder mill on the site. The mill was destroyed by fire in 1733, but rebuilt. Alvøen Manor and the factory were opened as a museum (Alvøen Hovedbygning) in 1983, as a branch of the West Norway Museum of Decorative Art. It is now[when?] managed by the Bergen City Museum. The site includes Alvøen Manor together with some forty worker cottages and production buildings dating from the 1800s." Wikipedia

Thon Hotel Orion
Great hotel, lovely and clean. Breakfast was a great selection of food catered to all needs and plenty to go around. Hotel was central to the city but a little tucked away so it was calm and quiet. Will definitely consider staying again the next time we are there.
