"The building from 1845 was built in the late Empire - Neo-Renaissance style according to the drawings of city conductor Ole Peter Riis Høegh . The building was threatened with an extension in 1926 , but this was discouraged as the building was considered one of the country's most important monumental buildings from this period. The bank's interiors were remodeled by architect Schak Bull in 1926. Norges Bank's branch office in Bergen was closed in 2001.

The building was protected by the Norwegian Agency for Cultural Heritage in 1986.

The building on Vågsallmenning was purchased by Bergen Municipality in 1990. Galleri Format kunsthåndverk has occupied the first floor since 1997."
