Legenes hus, originally called Sophielund, was built in 1840 by financier Lorentz Nikolaisen. The building has historical significance and is considered one of Bergen's prominent houses. In 1993, it was purchased by the Hordaland Legeforening, which owns and operates the place today.
The premises are located in Kalfaret, an area that was previously considered rural. Legenes hus offers banquet facilities and catering options, making it an attractive choice for various events. The building's history and location contribute to a unique atmosphere for guests.
