Chateau Neuf

Chateau Neuf is a vibrant building located in Oslo, Norway, serving as the hub for the Norwegian Students' Society. It features cafes, bars, and performance centers, making it a lively gathering place for students. The name 'Chateau Neuf' translates to 'new castle' in French, and it humorously references a pig, symbolizing the society's mascot. The building's history dates back to the early 20th century when the society outgrew its previous location. After a period of dissolution during World War II, it was re-established and construction of the current structure began in the 1960s, culminating in its opening in 1973. Situated near the University of Oslo, Chateau Neuf is an essential part of the student experience and cultural life in the city.
