Christiania.
Christiania.
Indretninger. Efter at Byen var afbrændt i 1567, for
at hindre de fremrykkende svenske Tropper fra at faa
Tilhold der, og i 1624 ved Yaadeild, bleve dens
Borgere overflyttede til det nyanlagte Christiania. Senere
reiste sig vel nye Bygninger paa de gamle Tomter,
men Oslo hævede sig ikke mere til nogen Velstand ;
den betragtedes s nn en Forstad til Christiania, hvoraf
den nu udgjør en integrerende Del. I de senere Aar
ere Fundamenterne for den gamle Halvards- og
Mariekirke udgravne, men atter gjenfyldte, efterat være
nøiagtig optegnede. Ved de forskjellige Jernbanearbeider
er ogsaa paatruffet Rester af ældre Bygninger, der dog I
iklcehar frembudt noget af synderlig Interesse.
Nr. 5. Akershus Fæstning er anlagt paa en mellem
Bj ørvig en (o: Byvigen) og Pipervigsbugten
fremspringende Odde. Af hvem og naar Fæstningen er anlagt, I
vides ikke, men Akershus Slot nævnes förste Gang i j
1310, da det beleiredes af den svenske Hertug Erik. !
Mellem Aarene 1355 og 1380 blev Slotsbygningerne
udvidede, under Kong Haakon den sjette, men først
under Christian den fjerde blev mere omfattende Be- :
fæstningsarbeider foretagne. Hermed fortsattes under j
Christian den femte, og ved Midien af det 18de Aar- |
hundrede bleve de da forfaldne Bygninger og Befæst- j
ninger bragte i god Stand. Fæstningen er fortiden ;
uden al militær Betydning, og dens nedre Del er sløifet
og udlagt til Byggetomter. Kun dens øverste Del, det j
egentlige Slot, som bestaar af fire, med tvende Taarn I
forsynede Bygninger, der danne Façade mod Vest med j
to Fløie, der er forenede med en kreneJeret Mur, og
de om samme opførte Mure og Volde, holdes endnu |
Nr. 5. The Fortress of Akershus stands on a neck
of land jutting out between the creek ofBjörviken and
Piperviken bay. It is not known by whom, or in what
vear, the original stronghold was erected. Akershus
Castle is first spoken of in historical records from 1310,
when Prince Erik laid siege to the place. Between
1355 and 1380 the buildings were enlarged, by express
command of King Haakon the Sixth; but extensive
fortifications were not commenced till the reign of the
fourth Christian. The works were vigorously prosecuted
under Christian the Fifth; and in the middle of the
18th century such of the buildings and fortifications as
had suffered most from time or the enemy were put
in repair. At the present day the fortress is void of
all importance in a military sense; indeed the inferior
division has been long since razed, and the ground
devoted to building purposes. The castle itself
comprises four buildings facing the west, and two elongated
wings, protected by a crenellated wall. The ramparts
and bastions are still in excellent preservation. This
fortress successfully resisted a protracted siege in 1531
and 1532, by king Christian the Second; and another
in 1567; and in 1716 Charles the Twelfth of Sweden
tried in vain to take it.
6. The Royal I°aiace, standing on a
commanding eminence in the west of the city, was erected from
designs by Linstow (afterwards steward of the
household), a clever though an amateur architect. In 1822
the Storthing granted 150,000 Speciedollars for its
erection, 48,000 Spd. of this slender sum being devoted to
the purchase of land for the site and palace grounds
