Enhjorningen Restaurant
Wharf house no.1, today called Enhjorningen Fish restaurant, is on the Hanseatic wharf, so rich in traditions, in the very heart of Bergen.
The name Enhjorningen (unicorn) is first recorded in the year 1304, when it was mentioned in evidence given in court. The German merchant Herman Skult was said to have lived there 50years prior to that time, so the building must have been in existence since well before the year 1260.
The sign of this wharf house is a galloping horse with a gilt horn in the center of its forehead.
After the Grate Fire in 1702, the hose was rebuilt, probably on the old foundations. The whole Enhjorningen complex has been renovated and restored to its original condition in the 1700s.
Enhjørningen wharf house no.1 has always been consisted one of the last Hanseatic buildings in Bergen. The last Hanseatic administrator of the wharf house was Christian Joachim Mohn, who held office between 1760 and 1765.
So although the name Enhjorningen or Unicorn has no direct connection with fish, it is understandable that we have chosen to keep this traditional name. It is our great pleasure to entertain you in Bergen's only fish restaurant in these historic premises which have been at the center of the fish trade for so many centuries.
