Christian Heinrich Grosch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Heinrich Grosch (1801-1865) was a Norwegian architect. He was born in Halden and educated by his father, Heinrich August Grosch and in Germany and Copenhagen.

Grosch was Oslo's first "city conductor," which is to say he acted as the city's chief architect, planning engineer, and building inspector. He also accepted private architectural assignments and was responsible for many of the city's landmarks, including Kirkeristen, the first campus at the University of Oslo, the original building for Norges Bank, and others.
