Prinds Christian Augusts Minde

Prinds Christian Augusts Minde was an asylum, workhouse and social institution located at Storgata 36 in downtown Oslo, Norway.

The facility next housed the hospital for the poor (fattigsykehus) and public kitchen (dampkjøkken) together with separate living quarters for men and women.

The factory soon turned into a workhouse focused on textile production, stone cutting, and woodworking.

The complex was expanded several times and in 1833 a factory building drawn by architect Christian H. Grosch was erected.

[8][9] Christiania Insane Hospital (Sinnssykeasyler) was moved to Mangelsgården in 1829 and was expanded after the new lunatic asylum laws were passed in 1848.
