Damstredet and Telthusbakken are part of central Oslo located in the St. Hanshaugen, where visitors can see beautiful and well-preserved wooden houses from the late 17th and 18th centuries. Historic houses are still inhabited, and the area attracts crowds of visitors.
Damstredet is a small and narrow street that has survived intact from 1810-1860, when it was built to expand the small town of Oslo at the time. The first house built here, Solberg, was built in 1756 by sculptor Ole Meyer.
Telthusbakken is a narrow street along which we can see traditional wooden houses from around 1815, when real estate acts were issued. In the 16th century, this street was part of the main road leading to the Old Aker church, from east to west from Oslo and further west. The temple was built on a hill around 1080, making it the oldest building still in use in Oslo.
