Asylet

Grønland 28

About

The building at number 28 Grnland, close to Grnland Torg, is one of the oldest and best-preserved buildings in Oslo. Enjoy a coffee and a waffle, or a beer, whilst admiring the historical background of the building. It was first erected as a family home for a rich family in 1730, at a time when Grnland was a suburb of Christiania. The building has since then been used as a prison, accommodation, a children's asylum, school, hostel and hospital, and even as a bank. The entrance to Asylet is in the backyard, and a roaring fire greets you as you enter (well, in the winter, anyway). Notice the hackneyed walls and the many small rooms. All the colors are original. In the summer, the backyard doubles as an outdoor café. Asylet is known for its game dishes.
