St. Hanshaugen Park, Public park in central Oslo, Norway

The park extends over elevated terrain with winding paths, water features, and numerous trees offering views toward downtown Oslo and the surrounding neighborhoods.

The transformation of this rocky hill began in 1850 when Fritz Heinrich Frølich initiated the development, leading to the planting of one thousand trees.

The park includes notable sculptures, including the 1885 statue of Peter Chr. Asbjørnsen by Brynjulf Bergslien and the 1947 Kvinne by Ørnulf Bast.

Visitors can find an open-air café at Festplassen square on the hilltop, which operates during the summer months and provides refreshments.

The location served as a traditional gathering spot for Oslo residents to celebrate Midsummer Eve with bonfires during the 1840s.
