About Schous plass

Schous plass is a square with a park in the southern part of the Grünerløkka district of Oslo. It was laid out in 1873 and named in 1874 after the brewery owner Christian Schou, whose Schou Brewery stood nearby. The park on the square was created in 1915–1916 and renovated in 1986. Around the square stand the local branch of the Deichman Library, built in 1912–1914, and the building at Schous plass 1 where the young Edvard Munch lived from 1885 to 1889. Trams 11, 12 and 18 stop at Schous plass.
