Gulating

Gulating was the legislative assembly in the western part of Norway and played an important role when Norway became one kingdom.

It is believed that Gulating was established before AD 930 and the legislative assembly was originally held in Gulen in Sogn. This is where people met to discuss legal matters, pass judgements in civil disputes and criminal cases. Gulating was then moved from Gulen to Bergen just before 1300.

A memorial has been built to remember the origins of Gulating, which is now surrounded by a beautiful park in Gulen in Sogn where you can experience art, culture and nature. In addition to being a place for learning and history, there are also many other activities to experience. The park features monumental artworks by sculptor Bard Breivik and is open all year round.
