Hjula Væverier, Industrial heritage site in Sagene, Oslo, Norway.
The red brick factory buildings of Hjula Væverier stand along the Akerselva river, featuring distinctive gabled facades and large windows.
Established in 1855 by Halvor Schou, the factory grew to become Norway's largest textile manufacturer, employing 800 workers by the 1880s.
The industrial complex influenced literature through Oskar Braaten's 1910 novel 'Kring fabrikken', which depicted the daily life of textile workers.
The preserved industrial buildings now house offices and creative spaces, while maintaining the original architectural elements from the 19th century.
The factory utilized water power from Hjulafossen waterfall through an advanced turbine system supplied by Myrens Mekaniske Verksted.
