Brannvakten is a historic building in Oslo, built in neo-Romanesque style with characteristic unpolished red brick. The building served as the main fire station in Oslo until 1939, and thus has an important place in the city's fire history. It contains a tower that was formerly used for drying fire hoses, which testifies to the practical needs of the fire brigade at the time.
The building is located on part of the cemetery by Oslo Cathedral, and has been a symbol of the city's fire service since its inception, when the fire brigade consisted of 35 men. The fire station is also marked with a blue sign from Oslo Byes Well, which indicates its historical significance. This landmark contributes to preserving and disseminating knowledge about Oslo's fire history and architecture.
