Schafteløkken

Schafteløkken is a building in the neighborhood Elisenberg in the Frogner borough in Oslo, Norway.

[1] It is one of the largest existing wooden building in Oslo, Norway.

[1] It was built around 1807 for Andreas Schaft,[2] who had bought the square in front of the building in 1799.

[3] Fredrik Glad Balchen (1815–1899) bought Schafteløkken in 1858 and operated Christiania Døvstumme-Institut, a school for the deaf, on site until 1891.

Oslo City Council decided in 1985 to preserve Schafteløkken, after efforts from an action group led by architect Ole Daniel Bruun (1933-2014).
