Tukthuset, Trondheim, House of correction in Trondheim, Norway.

The facility at Storgata 33 features baroque architecture with a curved gable on its main building and open galleries in the central courtyard section.

Built between 1737 and 1740 by architect Gabriel Betzman, Tukthuset served as a labor institution for addressing begging and vagrancy through collected donations.

The Tukthuskirken church contained Renaissance elements, including an altar and pulpit, later enhanced with detailed galleries and church pews in the 1790s.

The property covered 17,917 square meters and included workshops for textiles, tobacco spinning, tanning, dyeing, and stonemasonry activities.

King Karl Johan mistook Tukthuset for his official residence during his first visit in November 1814 due to its status as the city's largest building.
