They also have their names engraved on the theater's facade, along with the Dano-Norwegian playwright Ludvig Holberg.
4. The Norwegian Parliament

5. Oslo Cathedral (Oslo Domkirke)
Oslo cathedral is a very old church, dating to the 17th century. The Norwegian Royal Family and the Norwegian Government use the Cathedral for public events. In 2001, Oslo Cathedral was the site of the wedding of Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway, and Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby.
