Biography
Bergstrøm probably came to Norway with his father J. W. Bergstrøm and his brother William in 1837 when he was only 9 years old. Shortly thereafter, the family settled in Horten, where the father worked as a builder at Karljohansvern. He married Henriette Jacobsen.[2]

Bergstrøm designed several church buildings made of wood or natural stone with a mixture of Swiss chalet style and Neo-gothic architecture. He also worked all over Northern Norway in what is now Trøndelag, Nordland, and Troms counties.[2]
His most famous buildings are Vågan Church (1898), also known as the Lofoten Cathedral, as well as Melhus Church (1892), Orkdal Church (1892) and Sortland Church (1901). Other churches include: Gildeskål Church, Horg Church, Nordbotn Church, Nordli Church, Saura Church, and Sørli Church.
