I». Otfcai’glial ligger ved Frognerkilen, paa en
fremspringende omtrent 80 Fod høi Fjeldskrænt. 11847
lagdes Grundstenen, og Bygningerne, som ere opførte
at A r chit ekt Nebelong i engelsk-gothisk Stil, fuldendtes
i 1852. Oscarshal bestaar af tvende Hovedbygninger
med et tilstødende polygonformet Taarn og en mindre
Bygning nede ved Stranden, som benyttes af den
kongelige Families Betjening. Paa Midten af Terrassen,
mellem sidstnævnte Bygning og Hovedbygningerne, er

estate was included among the royal possessions in
Oslo, on the sale of which is was farmed partly by the
viceroy and partlyby the Stiftamtmand ln 1790 a
portion of the estate was disposed of as copyhold
property, and the rest, being put up to auction in 1837,

property into a model farm.

eighty feet nearly in height. The foundation stone of
this beautiful seat was laid in 1847; the whole edifice
— which is English-Gothic in style, from designs by
Nebelong — being completed in 1852. Oscar’s Hall
