'''Bergen Station''' ({{langx|no|Bergen stasjon}}) is the main [railway station](/source/railway_station) in the city of [Bergen](/source/Bergen_(city)), Norway. It is a [terminal station](/source/terminal_station) on the [Bergen Line](/source/Bergen_Line), and serves trains from Oslo as well as the [Bergen Commuter Rail](/source/Bergen_Commuter_Rail) from [Indre Arna](/source/Indre_Arna), [Vossevangen](/source/Vossevangen) and [Myrdal](/source/Myrdal). It is located on the east side of the city centre and has four platforms. The station was opened in 1913, four years after the Bergen Line itself opened; it replaced a former building that was located a little further to the west of the present station.

==Architecture==
The station building is one of the grandest in Norway. The architect, [Jens Zetlitz Monrad Kielland](/source/Jens_Zetlitz_Monrad_Kielland), designed it in the [National Romantic style](/source/National_Romantic_style). He also designed [Gamlehaugen](/source/Gamlehaugen), and the stone buildings at [Bryggen](/source/Bryggen). The building has been protected against non-trivial modifications since 2003.<ref>[http://www.riksantikvaren.no/Norsk/Nyhetssenter/Fredninger/2003/?module=Articles;action=Article.publicShow;ID=1406 Order to protect Bergen Railway Station]  {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051106172123/http://www.riksantikvaren.no/Norsk/Nyhetssenter/Fredninger/2003/?module=Articles%3Baction%3DArticle.publicShow%3BID%3D1406 |date= November 6, 2005  }} {{in lang|no}}</ref>

==History==
thumb|left|250px|The interior of the station just after the opening in 1913
Having been established in 1921, [Norsk Spisevognselskap](/source/Norsk_Spisevognselskap) attempted to find a suitable location for a restaurant in Bergen. There was at the time a small restaurant in the station building, but there was not sufficient space for storage of food. Because of high real estate prices in the area, [Norsk Spisevognselskap](/source/Norsk_Spisevognselskap) instead established a kiosk at the station on 1 May 1922.

The same year, 1922, the company contemplated establishing a hotel near the railway station. The plan materialised in the construction of Hotel Terminus, which was owned in part by NSB, in part by Spisevognselskapet and in part by other parties.

On 2 April 1937, Spisevognselskapet established a restaurant in the station.<ref>{{cite book |title=A/S Norsk Spisevognselskap 1919–1949 |location=Oslo |publisher=Norsk Spisevognselskap |year=1949 |first=Carl |last=Just |authorlink=Carl Just |oclc=40310643 |language=Norwegian |pages=58–60}}</ref>
