Old Bishop's Palace in Oslo

The main buildings were surrounded by tall walls, and from a tower, a wooden bridge connected the palace to the neighboring Hallvards Cathedral.

Together with the cathedral, the palace was not only a religious centre in Middle Age Oslo, it was also of significant political importance.

In 1579 the mayor of Oslo, Christen Mule, built a Renaissance building on the ruins of the previous bishop's palace, and in this building King James VI of Scotland married princess Anne of Denmark on November 23, 1589.

[2] After a fire in 1722, the current manor house (Oslo Ladegård) was erected by Karen Toller on the site in 1725.

Oslo Ladegård was built in classical Baroque architecture style on the foundation of former Bishop's Palace.
