Most of the buildings date from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Møhlenpris todayMøhlenpris holds a range of residential buildings, mainly between Puddefjord Bridge in the north and Wolff Street in the south, an area of industry between the start of Wolffs Street and south to Høyteknologisenteret expanded in 2009 and 2010 to include most of Marineholmen, Møhlenpris sports field between industrial area and residential area, and any further industrial and port activities along the waterfront outside the residential area, and finally some office buildings immediately north of Puddefjord Bridge. Once in office buildings are also two notable buildings: Møhlenpris Manor, probably from 1680, and Monclairhuset from about 1760 (old Bergen Housewife School) as the bridge passes directly above. The lower parts of Nygårdsparken can also be said to be part of Møhlenpris.Rafto Foundation for Human Rights and the popular science adventure center Bergen Science is also in the neighborhood.Housing areasResidential area has a strictly rectangular street network, and most of the buildings are brick building from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
