Bispegården, Oslo, Episcopal residence in Gamlebyen, Norway
The Bispegården stands on St. Halvards Square 3, constructed in Gothic Revival style with preserved medieval cellars from the Dominican monastery beneath.
The first bishop moved into this location in 1554 when Frants Berg relocated from the old episcopal residence to the former Olav Monastery.
Three rooms in the basement maintain their original 13th-century wall decorations, with one chamber converted into a chapel in 1968.
The building now functions as offices and ceremonial spaces for the bishop and diocesan council, accessible through the entrance on Egedes Gate.
The structure incorporates vaulted cellars from the original Dominican monastery, linking modern administrative functions with medieval architectural elements.
