Every year, the Norwegian King and Queen celebrate Christmas at the grand royal lodge called “Kongsseteren” in the expensive neighbourhood of Holmenkollen in Oslo. Let us take a look at this magnificent royal property.
“Kongsseteren”, formerly called The Kings Villa, is a property and timber lodge which is under the Norwegian Royal Family’s private ownership. The property is mainly used in winter, and the Royal Family celebrates Christmas there every year.
King Haakon and Queen Maud received the Kongsseteren as a gift from the Norwegian people after their coronation in 1906; a fundraising campaign funded it. Some of the architecture details are inspired by the Norwegian farming tradition. Otherwise, it is built in New Baroque style with some Art Nouveau elements. The building started in 1906 and was finished in 1910.
