The following additional information is from the EnjoyFoodTravel (visit link) website:

"Oslos second City Hall (1620's)

The oldest part of this building goes as far back as the years following the large fire in 1624. It was extended as it was taken over by a local official, Stiftamtskriver in 1647 that used the house as his residence.

As the first city hall was abandoned in 1733, the city administration moved into the building and it worked as the second city hall 1743-1833. It was also a police station for over 200 years, from 1745-1963.

Address: Rådhusgaten 7"

I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
