Garmanngården
Oslo, Norway, Norway
Garmanngården, located at Rådhusgata 7 in Oslo's historic Kvadraturen district, stands as one of the city's oldest surviving buildings, with structural remnants possibly dating to 1622—before the great fire of 1624 prompted Oslo's relocation and renaming to Christiania. It gained its current form around 1647 when landkommissarius Johan Garmann acquired it as a private residence, marked by dated anchor irons on the facade, and later housed notable figures like stattholder Just Høeg in the 1680s. Donated as Oslo's new town hall by King Christian VI in 1734, it served as a courthouse, meeting hall, theater, concert venue, police station, jail, and debt prison until functions dispersed by the mid-19th century; protected since 1927, it hosted Norwegian writers' organizations from 1970 to 2018.
