Tryvannstårnet, Television tower in Oslo Municipality, Norway

The 118-meter tall Tryvannstårnet rises from Tryvannshøyden hill at an elevation of 529 meters, making it visible across the Oslo region.

Constructed in 1962, the tower contained an observation deck at 60 meters that received 100,000 annual visitors until its closure in 2005.

The structure marks the entry point to Nordmarka forest area, connecting the urban landscape of Oslo with its natural surroundings.

The tower became inactive for broadcasting in 2018 after digital transitions, leading the City of Oslo to list it for sale between 14-42 million NOK.

Below the tower structure lies a large underground shelter, demonstrating additional infrastructure planning beyond its broadcasting purposes.
