Havnelageret, Heritage commercial building in Langkaia, Norway.

The Havnelageret building features Nordic Neo-Baroque architecture with classical elements and spans an area of 39,708 square meters across eleven floors.

Upon its completion in 1921, Havnelageret stood as Europe's largest concrete building, constructed to meet the increased shipping demands following World War I.

The structure received the Betongtavlen award in 1965 for its exceptional concrete architecture, marking its influence on Norwegian building design.

The building currently houses the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency and maintains the source archive of the Norwegian Intelligence Service at Langkaia 1.

The foundation required 130 pillars supported by 1,550 piles driven 20 meters deep to reach bedrock, making it an engineering achievement.
