Pipervika

Pipervika is a neighborhood in the borough Sentrum in Oslo, Norway.

It is located between the Oslofjord, Akershus Fortress and The City Hall Square.

Today the term Pipervika is primarily used for the bay between the fortress and Aker Brygge.

The name Pipervika ('the piping bay') could therefore be some kind of translation from Norse to Danish in the 17th century.

(The verb pipe in Scandinavian in often used to describe the sound of strong wind.)
