Christinegård Mansion Originally the property was leased in 1694 by Christine Caspersdatter Middeltorp. She was married to the rich merchant Berent Middeltorp. Christine Middeltorp was the daughter of Casper Nevermann and came from Wismar and took citizenship in Bergen in 1626. In 1694 Christine became a widow and inherited a large fortune and the property. Little is known about the buildings at this time, but it is likely that Christine use the property as a sort of country retreat.

The former farm Christinegård, also known as Christinelyst and Prahlgården is located in the Formannsvei 3 in Sandviken, Norway in Bergen. The plant has a dominant position in the hillside overlooking the fjord, Byfjorden. The main building is originally constructed around 1763 and rebuilt or newly built in the 1830s.
