About Villa Paus
Villa Paus (Pausvillaen) is a listed villa at Christian Benneches vei 6 on Bygdøy in Oslo. It was built in 1907 for the iron and steel industrialist Ole Paus, founder of the steel company Ole Paus and chairman of Den norske Creditbank, and combines Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau influences. The house of about 1,200 square metres has ten main rooms, servants' quarters and a large hall, and originally stood in a park of about 7 decares with 80 metres of shoreline. During the German occupation it was the summer residence of Reichskommissar Josef Terboven. In 1997 it was sold to the businessman Petter Stordalen.
