 | | At the northwest end of Oslo's Karl Johansgate, on higher ground, stands the Norwegian Royal Palace (Det Kongelige Slott), a long building erected between 1825 and 1848 (not open to the public). |
 | | In front of the palace is an equestrian statue (by B. Bergslien, 1875) of King Carl XIV Johan. |
 | | In the park surrounding the palace, near Karl Johansgate, can be seen a monument (by G. Vigeland) to the mathematician N. Abel (1802-29), and behind the palace, to the right, is a statue, also by Vigeland, of the woman writer Camilla Collett (1813-95). |
