Christiania Seildugsfabrik, Textile manufacturing heritage site in Grünerløkka, Oslo, Norway.

The industrial complex features a large brick building constructed in the 1850s along the Akerselva river with multiple wings for manufacturing processes.

Established in 1856 by merchant Ole Mathæus Hauge, this factory produced sails, fishing gear, nets, and ropes until its closure in 1960.

The factory employed over nine hundred workers by 1908, with women forming the majority of the workforce in demanding industrial conditions.

Located at Fossveien 24, the building now houses the Oslo National Academy of the Arts and includes exhibition spaces at Galleri Seilduken.

The structure stands as the second largest building constructed in 19th-century Oslo, surpassed only by the Royal Palace.
