Ringstabekk

[2] In 1851 Jens Ring was behind the construction of "The Castle", a Neogothic brick building, drawn by architect Heinrich Ernst Schirmer.

The last private owner of The Castle was newspaper editor Ola Thommessen, who in 1909 sold it to the state[1] via Hans Konrad Foosnæs.

[2] The Norwegian State College for Domestic Science Teachers was established; and between 1921 and 1924 modern school facilities were added to supplement The Castle.

The campus was closed in 2003 as Akershus University College centralized to Kjeller, and in October the same year the property was declared as preserved by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage.

The multi-sports club Stabæk IF bought a part of Ringstabekkjordet not long after its March 1912 foundation, and established a sports field.

The men's football team, Norwegian Premier League champions of 2008, moved its primary activity to Nadderud stadion in 1962.

The sports field is named Stabekkbanen or Plassen, and has hosted matches for the Bandy World Championship.

[2] In addition to the rail transport, Ringstabekk is served by the Ruter bus network.
