The Helland House

The Helland House (Norwegian: Hellandshuset) is a house in Bergen, Norway.

The structure stands at Nyhauglia 1,[1] near Fjøsanger Bay (Norwegian: Fjøsangerbukten) and the Gamlehaugen Mansion. The house was built at the Nyhaugen farm[2] for rentier Gerhard Krohn after he acquired the property in 1841.[3] The house was designed in the late Empire style.[4] It has a black glazed tile-covered hipped roof and a main facade characterized by a single temple-front design with two Doric pillars. The house was given its name after the ship owner Peter Helland (1847–1935) purchased it around 1889. The building was given protected heritage status by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage in 1924. The carriage house and servants' quarters were given protected status in 1971. In 2008, the property was sold by Kyrre Grepp to the Lundberg family. A privately run preschool operated in part of the building until 2014.[5]
