Asylet, Oslo, Heritage site in Grønland district, Oslo, Norway.
The Asylet features a two-story timber structure with brick-faced facade and a central courtyard paved with small stones at Grønland 28.
Between 1839 and 1865, this former merchant yard transformed into a children's asylum, accommodating 900 children during its operational period.
Norwegian writer Anthon B. Nilsen documented the building's social impact through his novel while residing at the property during the 19th century.
The current Kafe Asylet serves Norwegian dishes with local ingredients, offering both indoor dining spaces and outdoor seating arrangements.
The building maintained multiple functions throughout centuries, including a courthouse, bank division, hospital facility, and nursing school.
