Frognerkilen, Natural bay and harbor in Oslo, Norway

Frognerkilen forms the westernmost section of Oslo's harbor, stretching along the coastline where the Havnepromenade meets the path around Bygdøy peninsula.

The bay functioned as a primary timber shipping port during the 1700s, with its name originating from the adjacent Frogner Manor that owned the beach area.

Two notable clubhouses mark the bay's shores: Kongen, home to Christiania Roklub on the east side, and Dronningen, housing the Royal Norwegian Yacht Club west.

The sheltered location of Frognerkilen makes it an excellent natural harbor for boats, with multiple docking facilities and marine services available throughout the year.

In 1908, Frognerkilen became the filming location for Norway's first drama film, Fiskerlivets farer, marking the beginning of Norwegian cinema history.
