These days, my grandfather lives roundabout where this photo must've been taken from.

I used to live just on the left edge of this picture. the house was built in 1907 so it's not yet in this picture.

This summer castle was buildt 1847-52, and the architect was Johan Henrik Nebelong for King Oscar I. Oscarshall was sold by King Carl IV to the Norwegian state in 1863, and has been at the disposal of Norwegian kings since. The building is considered one of the main neo-Gothic works in Norway. The architectural style is patterned on the English neo-Gothic castle, which was typical in Scandinavia in the mid-19th century. In addition to the main building, the property consists of a park that stretches down to the fjord, where an open pavilion is located. The interior was wholly constructed by Norwegian artists and artisans. The castle is now closed for restoration, but will open for the public soon. Current spelling is Oscarshall.

This is the same view from Skarpsnobrygga, taken 2009. See any differences?

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Oslo – før og nå, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

The correct spelling is "Stortingsbygningen" - The Norwegian Parliament Building

The contemporary spelling is Stortinget/Stortingsbygningen, but the old one is Storthinget, according to Ivar Aasen But of course, for searching Flickr, Stortinget is the best spelling. Here is some more images of Stortinget This photo, btw, is probably taken from Grand Hotel. Here is the relation between these two buildings sorrounding Eidsvolls Plass (square) So this image of Grand Hotel on Karl Johans Gate (usually called Karl Johan), in your collection is taken from Stortinget. And thanks for a super stream and sharing these photos! Please encourage every other library and museum.

Preciosa fotografía!

Also notice the building on the right, it is the Freemasons building in Oslo. 3d

The Parliament building was finished in 1866. The Freemasons building, as mentioned, was build somewhere mid 1890's so the photo was probably taken late 1890's.
