Georgernes Verft

Georgernes Verft is an area located on the peninsula of Nordnes in Bergen, Norway.

Over time the surrounding area was populated by shipyard workers and is still known as Verftet.

[2][3] Upon the end of the yard its owner turned to the expanding knitting industry and established a prosperous factory of 3000 m².

At the start of the 1900s, the knitting industry needed a bigger factory and had to move to a location outside Bergen.

The property owner AS Norwegian Preserving Company opened parts of the old sardine factory to artists in the following year.
