7. juni-plassen, Public square in Ruseløkka district, Oslo, Norway
The 7. juni-plassen is a pedestrian zone in the Ruseløkka district featuring open paved areas that connect several important Oslo locations. The space has level pathways and creates a unified area for people walking between cultural and administrative buildings.
The square received its current name in 1962 to commemorate Norway and Sweden's separation on June 7, 1905. This date marks a crucial moment when Norway ended its union with Sweden and became fully independent.
A bronze statue of King Haakon VII stands here as a focal point for visitors. The square serves as a gathering place where locals pass through and pause to acknowledge this symbolic landmark.
The area is very accessible with smooth paving, making it easy to walk through and suitable for people with mobility challenges. The Nationaltheatret Station is located directly beneath the square and provides connections to trains, metro lines, and local buses.
The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs building from 1964 is the only permanent structure with an official address on the square. Its modern design from that era contrasts with the otherwise open public space surrounding it.
