christiania

Yep - slotted=slottet :) Great to see these!!

Current spelling: Karl Johans Gate Slottet (The royal palace) Christiania (old name) = Oslo ("new" name)

This is the Grand Hotel in 2006, having it's roof cleared of dangerous falling ice.

I'd love to contribute a then-and-now, however this photo was taken from what appears to be the roof of the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget), wich is not accessible to the public.

Slottet=the Royal Palace You can read more here: www.kongehuset.no/english/vis.html

I just did a little google search on this amazing building and found a replica built in Minot, North Dakota USA. www.norskwoodworks.com/golstave.shtml -- Seen in your Photochrom Travel Views set. (?)

And actually the Norwegian spelling would be "Gol stavkirke", and it is not located in Oslo, but in a city called "Gol"

This is the church from Gol, but it was moved to Oslo (Christiania) in 1884, to be a part of King Oscar II's outdoor museum, now called Norsk folkemuseum (Norwegian folk museum). You can read more about it here: www.norskfolkemuseum.no/en/Exhibits/The-Open-Air-Museum/O... And here: www.norskfolkemuseum.no/en/Stories/Set-1/The-Stave-Church/

Hi, this photo is being discussed in one of the projects in the Flickr Commons group, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool!

Gol does have it's own stavekirke now, which, bizarrely, is a copy of this one, that was built in the 1990s.

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.
