Also see . . . Oslo Ladegård (Selskabet For Oslo Byes Vel, in Norwegian). Excerpt (in translation):
After the bishop took up permanent residence in Oslo, a wooden bishop's palace was built. In the 13th century, the bishop's palace was partly developed as a castle. After the Reformation, the property was demolished.(Submitted on December 10, 2024.)
Mayor Christen Mule built a new house on the old walls. Here, Mary Stuart's son, James VI of Scotland, celebrated her wedding to Princess Anna, Christian IV's sister, in 1589. Part of the banquethall's floor has been preserved. After the city fire in 1624, Mayor Niels Toller later took over the property, which remained in the family's possession for over 150 years. The current building was built for Karen Toller around 1720. The name Ladegård dates from the time after 1624, when the property became ladegård (“warehouse”) to ensure the food supply to Akershus Fortress.
Chapel rebuilt in 1961 by Oslo Byes Vel and the main building restored in 1968. Garden reconstructed in 2000.
