About this audio guide
This guide to Damsgård Country Mansion in Bergen follows the people whose work made it, starting with an eighteenth-century customs chief who took over a farm in Laksevåg and began to build. It touches the Janson family who lived here for generations, and the restorers and botanists who arrived when they left. Best heard at the front of the house, looking where its windows look.
