This collection contains buildings in city of Bergen, Norway. Only buildings meeting high standards should be added to this collection. The Norwegian city of Bergen was separated from Hordaland as a county of its own in 1831.[2] It was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). The rural municipality of Bergen landdistrikt was merged with Bergen January 1, 1877.[3] The rural municipality of Årstad was merged with Bergen July 1, 1915. The rural municipalities of Arna, Fana, Laksevåg and Åsane were merged with Bergen January 1, 1972. The city lost its status as a separate county the same date.[4] Bergen was Norway's biggest city until the 1830s,[5] when it was passed by Oslo. The city is located on the south-western coast of Norway, in the county of Hordaland, with its centre situated between a group of mountains known collectively as de syv fjell ("the seven mountains"), although the number of mountains is a matter of definition. Bergen is host to part of the country's large oil industry, as well as deep sea operations. Its harbours is used by everything from small pleasure vessels to cruise ships and cargo vessels, and is the base of many of the country's fishing vessels. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen
