Egeberg Castle, Renaissance castle in St. Hanshaugen, Oslo, Norway

The granite and soapstone castle extends across 1600 square meters, featuring two main floors and a prominent tower section overlooking Oslo harbor.

Constructed between 1899 and 1901 for businessman Einar Westye Egeberg and his wife Birgitte, the castle cost 12 million kroner to build.

Italian craftsmen created elaborate stucco ceilings throughout the residence, incorporating elements of Italian Renaissance architecture into Norwegian design traditions.

The structure contains 24 individual apartments, converted from its original layout which included a hall, smoking lounge, dining room, and billiard room.

The castle required a specialized lift installation and a Minerva car to accommodate Mrs. Egeberg's mobility needs during the early 1900s.
