Open house: Villa Stenersen

Welcome to open house and guided tour at Villa Stenersen!

The guided tour at 2:00 pm is in English

Villa Stenersen was designed by architect Arne Korsmo, and is considered one of the most significant buildings within Norwegian functionalism.  

The house is one of Korsmos most famous works, and was drawn on commission from the art collector Rolf E. Stenersen in 1937-1939. The villa is protected by the National Heritage Board, and a gradual restoration of the house back to original colors and materials is underway. 

Feel free to stop by to play in the garden as well! 

Free entrance.

Wayfinding to Villa Stenersen

T-bane line 1 (Frognerseteren) to Vinderen or line 2 (Østerås) eller line 3 (Kolsås) to Borgen stasjon. The villa is a 10 min walk from both Vinderen and Borgen stasjon. The villa is located at the top of a small driveway accessed from Tuengen allé. NB: It is not possible to access the villa via Borgenveien. Visitors with a car can not park on the grounds or access the property by car, but will need to stop/park in Tuengen allé.  

Accessibility

The villa is sadly inaccessible for some. There is a staircase outside and inside with rails, and there is access for wheelchairs narrower than 90 cm to the 1st and 2nd floor with assistance from a member of staff at the villa.
