Chateau Neuf, Student center and heritage site in Majorstuen, Oslo, Norway

The concrete and glass structure, designed by architects Kjell Lund and Nils Slaatto, features multiple levels with performance spaces and gathering areas.

The Norwegian Students' Society moved to different locations across Oslo before establishing Chateau Neuf in 1971 after a successful fundraising campaign in the 1950s.

The center maintains regular Thursday Debates that bring together students for discussions on political and social topics, continuing a long-standing academic tradition.

Located at Slemdalsveien 15 near the University of Oslo Blindern campus, the facility includes cafes, bars, concert halls, and meeting rooms for student activities.

The French name contains a linguistic play, as 'neuf' sounds like the Norwegian word for pig sounds, referencing the Student Society's mascot.

Inception: 1971
