Castle chapel

The castle chapel is located in the royal palace in Oslo. It was founded when King Charles XIV John laid the foundation stone of the castle on 1 October 1825. It is the only room that bears the monogram of Charles XIV John. However, the room was not completed until 1844. The architect of Linstow Castle sent his drawings for the church hall and the choir in 1837 and was clearly inspired by the German architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
