Oslo Bazaars

The buildings of the bazaar constitute a continuous facility that encircles three sides of the quarter with Oslo Cathedral.

They were designed in Romanesque Revival architecture style by Christian Heinrich Grosch who acted as the city's chief architect, planning engineer, and building inspector.

Originally built for butchers who sold meat at the nearby Stortorvet market place, they were later expanded after their size proved insufficient.

Construction continued along the same design in a semicircle to the east of the church, with more than 50 stalls in total.

[3] [4][5] On several occasions, the buildings were considered for demolition as part of a beautification plan for Oslo Cathedral.
