Telegrafbygningen, Office building in central Oslo, Norway

Telegrafbygningen is an office building with striking architecture in central Oslo that spans 25,000 square meters across multiple floors. The interior features Norwegian marble walls and green labrador stone framing its doors and windows.

Architects Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson designed this building in 1924 with classical Nordic style. It served as the headquarters for Norwegian telecommunications until 1962, when it transitioned to new purposes.

The building displays artistic works such as frescoes by Alf Rolfsen and paintings by Erik Werenskiold that reflect Norwegian art traditions. These creations are scattered throughout various rooms and give the place a cultural depth that goes beyond its original function.

The building houses six flexible event spaces designed for meetings and celebrations, along with restaurants and bars. The modern facilities and central location make it a practical choice for various gatherings.

The general director's office contains a hidden door concealed within a wardrobe, allowing for discrete exits through a secret passage. This architectural detail was typical of important administrative buildings of that era and reflects the privacy needs of executives.
