A naturally formed massive boulder with a vertical drop of 604 meters, it has a platform of approximately 625 square meters at the top, offering a direct view of the infinite charm of the Norwegian fjords and the incredible creations of nature.
This building was first built in 1931, but due to World War II, it was forced to stop construction. It wasn't until 1950 that it was officially completed, becoming a unique building. The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony is held here on December 10th each year, which also increases the visibility of this building. In June, July, and August, there are free Norwegian and English language tours daily, while tours in other months are scheduled for Wednesdays.
