Asylet

Asylet is the popular name of a building located at Grønland 28 in Oslo, Norway.

The two story building was constructed of notched timber, with half-timbered and modified brick-faced facade facing the street.

Two perpendicular wings create a courtyard which is paved with small stones.

It has also served as a courthouse and bank division (Akers Sparebank 1844 and Spareskillingsbanken 1851).

Today, the building also houses Kafe Asylet, a café and restaurant with rental space and outdoor seating.
