Spend the day like royalty at this magnificent castle.
As per the orders of King Oscar I, Oscarshall was completed in 1852. This royal summer palace now functions as a museum, and follows the neo-Gothic architectural style. The moment your eyes meet this monument, you will feel like you have been transported into a fairy tale. With a fountain and garden serving as the welcoming committee, this pristine white castle is easy on the eyes. Not only is this a site of beauty, but it is of cultural importance too, as it serves as an icon of the National Romantic style, which was highly popular in Norway during the time it was built. The interior is just as regal as the exterior, starting with the piercing royal blue of the Vestibule, adorned with bronze lamps and wood paneling. Step into the Drawing Room, where you can see decadent furniture and walls covered in red velvet, and of course the Dining Room, covered in paintings representing Norwegian culture. Taking a step inside will make you feel as if you were in a Disney princess movie.
