Sjøstue No. 1, which today houses the Enhjørningen Fish Restaurant, is located in the historic wharf quarter dating back to the Hanseatic period in Bergen. The name Enhjørningen is first mentioned in the year 1304. At that time, a witness statement records that the German merchant Herman Skult had lived there fifty years earlier, indicating that the property must have received its name as early as before 1260. As its emblem, the seastue bears a rearing horse with a gilded horn. After the great fire of 1702, the property was rebuilt, most likely on the original plots of land.

Today, the entire property has been restored and returned to its 18th-century appearance. Enhjørningen Seastue No. 1 has always been regarded as one of the last Hanseatic seastues on Bryggen. The seastue’s last Hanseatic steward was Christian Joachim Mohn, who served from 1760 to 1765.

In these historic surroundings, where the trade in fish has been one of the most important livelihoods, you are warmly welcomed to Bergen’s oldest fish restaurant, which for the above reasons has chosen to retain the name Enhjørningen, even though the name itself has no direct connection to fish.
