Store Lungegårdsvannet

Store Lungegårdsvannet is a bay located in the city and municipality of Bergen in Vestland county, Norway.

The bay is named after the farm of Lungegården, the estate of the Danish nobleman Vincens Lunge.

In the Middle Ages, the bay was named Alrekstadvågen, after the royal farm of Alrekstad.

Starting in the 1950s, the bay was seen as a resource for the city to cover the acute need for free, unused land.

The Nygård Bridge crosses the western end of the bay, as the water flows into the Puddefjorden.
