Villa Paus, Private mansion in Bygdøy, Norway.
Villa Paus stands at Christian Benneches vei 6, featuring Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau elements across its 1200 square meters of living space.
The mansion, constructed in 1907 for industrialist Ole Paus, served as the summer residence of Josef Terboven during World War II occupation.
The mansion includes ten main rooms, servant quarters, and a grand hall, reflecting the architectural preferences of Norway's industrial elite.
Located on the Bygdøy peninsula, the property originally encompassed a park area of seven decare and 80 meters of waterfront access.
The residence features a three-meter illuminated Buddha statue called Sitting Tattoo with Mountains positioned at the front of the property.
