Akershus Slott og Festning (Akershus Castle & Fortress)

The beginnings of Norway

Akershus Slott og Festning (Akershus Castle & Fortress) is where the capital of Norway was founded. Designed to protect and defend the new capital, this fortress is now a fun place to explore. Tours are available, and many concerts are put on here during summer months.

A great amount of history is tied to this area. In newer history, one can for example mention that the Norwegian NS leader, Vidkun Quisling, was executed here October 24, 1945. The fortress was also the home to early Norwegian nobility. Check out the thick, stone walls that surround the castle, complete with moats and other evidence of fortress reinforcement. Today, many government events are held here throughout the year.
