Festiviteten, Skien, Cultural building in Skien, Norway.
The Festiviteten building displays French beaux-arts architecture with a mansard roof, classical pilasters, and relief details on its white facade.
Paul Due designed this structure after studying engineering at Hannover University and working on fortification projects in the United States during the Civil War.
The building opened on Henrik Ibsen's birthday in March 1891, though the famous playwright did not attend the inauguration ceremony.
The three-part structure contains multiple event halls and meeting rooms, with a pub and nightclub located in the basement level.
Norwegian rap group Karpe acquired ownership of the Festiviteten building in 2018, transforming it into a rental venue for various events.
