Adamstuen
Neighborhood in Oslo, Norway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adamstuen is a neighborhood in the borough of St. Hanshaugen in Oslo, Norway. It is located south of Ullevål University Hospital.[1] It is served by Adamstuen stop of the Oslo Tramway.
The neighborhood's name comes from Adam R. Steen (d. 1807), a storekeeper who owned the property,[1] combined with the Norwegian stue, 'cabin, house with one single room', inflected in definite form. A similar etymology is evident in the name of the Majorstuen neighborhood.
The September 2009 issue of Monocle featured an article on Thereses gate, a street running through the heart of the neighborhood, noting its "small-town feel".[2]
