Oslo Courthouse, Postmodern courthouse in downtown Oslo, Norway.
The Oslo Courthouse is a postmodern building with a granite exterior located in downtown Oslo. It houses multiple court departments handling civil cases, criminal trials, marriage ceremonies, bankruptcy matters, and official notarizations.
The building opened in 1994 following designs by architect Terje Grønmo from Østgaard Arkitekter AS. Its design has since shaped modern courthouse architecture in Norway.
The interior walls display excerpts from Norwegian legal codes, reflecting the country's judicial traditions. These inscriptions offer visitors and professionals a glimpse into the foundations of Scandinavian law.
The building is centrally located at C.J. Hambros plass 4 and easily accessible on foot. Access is available for all visitors, and staff can help guide you to the correct court department.
The building contains several specialized court chambers designed for different types of legal procedures working in parallel. This layout allows the courthouse to handle various cases simultaneously across its different sections.
