Sjømannsskolen, Maritime school in Ekebergskråninga, Norway
Sjømannsskolen features four low corner towers, hewn iddefjord granite cladding, and an observation balcony spanning the second floor for navigation training.
The building, constructed in 1917 following architects Bjercke and Eliassen's winning design titled 'Brede Seil', served as Oslo's maritime education center until 1989.
Per Krohg's frescoes with zodiac motifs decorate the main entrance, while Gunnar Utsond's sculpture Helhesten stands prominently in front of the structure.
The four-story structure houses classrooms, lecture halls, and specialized areas for maritime education, offering views of Nesodden, Bærum, and central Oslo.
The grounds contain Oslo's oldest cultural monument: 6000-year-old rock carvings that represent early human settlement in the region.
