Author Topic:   Akershaus twixy45 Member posted 11-30-2000 06:09 AM             I'm trying to find some info on a castle that I'm not even sure exists at the moment. I was told that there is an Akershaus castle in Oslo, Norway. If so I'd like to know any and all information anyone could send me on it. Thanks for any help offered..... wurdsmiff unregistered posted 11-30-2000 09:59 AM            Sorry, the only site I have which lists Norwegian Castles is at http://oddso.nvg.org/nsh/index2.html It does not appear to list Akershaus, though there are comparitevly few castles listed. Also it is in Norwegian, and my translation engine does not cover that language. Perhaps someone else can help with either of these problems. Perhaps you could mail the owner of the site given above. ------------------ Demeure par la verite Visit my web-site at www.castlesontheweb.com/members/wurdsmiff/castles.htm Gordon.

Go to the URL's below for lots of pics and info. http://ads.gravityhome.com/jk/pix/norway/akershus/ http://www.mil.no/haren/ak/index_eng.html http://balder.dep.no/ud/publ/nn/97/12/last.html http://www.theworldnow.com/digest/norway/fort.htm Erik
