Paléet


Paléet was a large single storey townhouse located in the Norwegian capital Oslo that for a long time functioned as a residence for the King of Norway.

The building was built between the years 1744-45 and was commissioned by the wealthy merchant Christian Ancher. Situated in what is present-day Fred. Olsens gate 6, the building was close to the shores of Bjørvika and the current Oslo Central Station.

The townhouse remained in the Anker family until the death of Bernt Anker who in 1805 bequeathed Paléet to the Norwegian government and the Norwegian royal family. Paléet subsequently functioned as the royal residence in Oslo until the completion of the Royal Palace in 1848. The townhouse was demolished after a damaging fire in 1942 and no trace of the building can be seen today.
