As it stood in 1849
What Royal Palace, Oslo looked like in its prime.
A long, symmetrical three-storey classical palace of pale ochre plaster above a grey rusticated base, capped by a low flat roof and roofline balustrade. The central section projects beneath a triangular pediment and a portico with four tall columns that supports a balcony and flagpole. A broad stone stair and low balustrades descend to a wide gravel forecourt; a bronze equestrian statue on a red-granite plinth stands centered before the portico. Rows of evenly spaced sash windows and lamp standards punctuate the façade.
