==Location==

Geographically it is located north-east of the city center. The neighbourhood begins north of Bergenhus Fortress, and follows the coastline facing west. Sandvik Road is the main thoroughfare through the area, which mostly consists of residential buildings. Sandviken has around 13,000 inhabitants.

The early development of Sandviken consisted largely of  water mills and shipyards. Later, traders from Bergen built landing places and warehouses in the area. Sandviken was long an isolated suburb of Bergen. The road to Sandviken  traveled through  Ladegården. The new, wider route to Sandviken was established during 1869-1873.
