Vigeland Park

The summer palace of Oscarshall is open to the public every summer. In addition to the small palace itself, visitors may also visit the surrounding park. The visitor's season 2024 lasted from 4 May until 15 September, with tickets available through Ticketmaster. Oscarshall is located on the peninsula of Bygdøy just outside downtown Oslo. The palace was commissioned by King Oscar I and Queen Joséphine, and was completed in 1852. Many Norwegian contemporary artists received commissions during the building of Oscarshall, and today it stands as a monument to Norwegian art and applied art from the 19th century. The palace, with its secondary buildings and surrounding park, is considered to be one of the finest examples of Neo-Gothic architecture in Norway and is one of the country’s most important embodiments of the National Romantic style so popular in Norway during the period.
