The Royal Lodge, Holmenkollen, Royal residence in Holmenkollen, Norway

The Royal Lodge stands as a two-story timber structure with covered verandas, projecting eaves, and traditional Norwegian farmhouse design elements at its corners.

The Norwegian people funded this residence through a public campaign and presented it as a coronation gift to King Haakon VII and Queen Maud in 1906.

The lodge features symmetrical decorations on gable walls with intense colors that reference the Norwegian woodcarving traditions from the 1700s.

The Royal Lodge serves as the winter residence for the Norwegian Royal Family, particularly during Christmas celebrations and the Holmenkollen Ski Festival.

King Olav V spent his final moments at this lodge on January 17, 1991, making it a meaningful location in Norwegian royal history.
