About Oslo Ladegård

Oslo Ladegård is a manor house in Gamlebyen, Oslo, built on the site of the Old Bishop's Palace. The present building was erected in 1725 by Karen Toller in classic Baroque style, with a high hipped roof and a symmetrical plan, while the hall in the cellar dates from the 13th-century bishop's palace. The property passed to the City of Oslo in 1956 and is used as a museum and concert hall. Its garden, which in the late 1700s reached almost to the sea, was reconstructed and reopened in 1999 following a pattern from 1779. The name refers to the unloading of supplies here for Akershus Fortress.
