About Søreide
What are the main landmarks in Søreide?
Søreide kirke is the whole of the register here, a church standing in a district that the sources otherwise leave without a museum, a monument or a named park. That is the list. Ytrebygda, Fana and Fjøsanger carry the map onward, and the sights that fill a Bergen itinerary are entered somewhere other than in Søreide.
What is the history of Søreide?
No year attaches to the name. Søreide comes down as a district of Bergen with a church of its own, and the sources record neither a charter nor a first mention nor any date of incorporation into the city. Vestland frames it administratively.
Søreide kirke is the one piece of built history the record hands over.
Where is Søreide?
Søreide occupies part of Bergen out near Ytrebygda, with Fana and Fjøsanger the next districts along in Vestland.
