[1] The Norwegian Students' Society was established during 1813 in Oslo, Norway.
The idea was to make a social, intellectual and cultural arena for the students in Norway's capital.
In future years, the Society played a role in national debate, including contributing substantially to the establishment of May 17 as Norwegian Constitution Day.
[2] [3] [4] Today the Society is located at Chateau Neuf, a large concrete block building to the south of the Blindern Campus.
Most of the activity at Chateau Neuf is generated by volunteers with people signing up for the many different jobs at hand.
