Schafteløkken is a building in the neighborhood Elisenberg in the Frogner borough in Oslo, Norway.
It is one of the largest existing wooden building in Oslo, Norway's capital.[1] It was built around 1807 for Andreas Schaft,[2] who had bought the square in front of the building in 1799.[3] He named the square Elisenberg, after his daughter Elise.[3] It is preserved, and mainly used for weddings and other official ceremonials.[1]
