Martinskirken - Bergen, Norway - Nordic Heritage on Waymarking.com

Remains of the medieval church that underlie this 18th-century school and the wall.
The church disappeared in the fire, and several hands later built a school.
The orange-hued school was on the verge of closing, but now the number of students and teachers has grown.
Next to the funicular station.
