Victoria Terrasse, Heritage building complex in central Oslo, Norway
Victoria Terrasse spans three city blocks with a 180-meter facade, featuring white painted brick walls, decorative towers, domes, and intricate wrought iron details.
The complex, constructed between 1884 and 1890 by architect Henrik Thrap-Meyer, initially served as Oslo's largest apartment development with 124 residential units.
Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen resided on the first floor from 1891 to 1895, writing his notable works Hedda Gabler and The Master Builder during this period.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs currently operates from Victoria Terrasse, coordinating Norway's international relations and diplomatic missions across the world.
During World War II, the building functioned as the headquarters for German forces, surviving two unsuccessful Allied bombing attempts in 1942 and 1944.
