Kongen, Christiania Roklub

Kongen, Christiania Roklub, Rowing clubhouse in Frognerkilen, Oslo, Norway.

Kongen is the clubhouse of Christiania Roklub situated along the Frognerkilen waterfront in Oslo. The building houses boat storage facilities, changing rooms, and spaces for meetings and training activities.

The building was designed and constructed in 1925 by architect Ole Sverre. The rowing club itself was founded in 1878, making this location an important part of Oslo's long rowing heritage.

The name Kongen refers to the royal connection of the rowing club to Norwegian maritime tradition. Today, the place serves as a gathering point where club members prepare their boats and build friendships around the water.

The site is easily accessible on foot from the fjord waterfront and offers nearby parking. Keep in mind that this is primarily a training facility for club members, so regular practice schedules are in effect throughout the day.

The club won the Thames Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta in 1921, a notable victory in international rowing. Several club members also earned Olympic medals, including a bronze medal in 1920.
