Salhus, Vestland

Salhus is an urban settlement in the borough of Åsane in Bergen municipality, Vestland county, Norway.

Salhus is located approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of the city centre of Bergen.

The village area is located along Norwegian County Road 564, just east of the European route E39 highway and the southern end of the Nordhordland Bridge.

[1] Salhus comes from the Old Norse word "Sálúhusn" which means the place with an innkeeper, and it is possible that the name has a connection with the many "Sálúhus" that King Øystein Magnusson had put up for the road travelers.

At its peak, Salhus had 3 grocery stores, a bank, a post office, several lodging houses with a liquor license where the local fishermen from Nordhordland used up their money on their way home from selling their fish at the fish market in Bergen.
