Royal Mausoleum (Norway)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Mausoleum in Oslo, Norway, is located within the Castle of Akershus, where it was established in 1948.
The Royal Mausoleum contains two sarcophagi: in a white sarcophagus of marble rest King Haakon VII of Norway (1872–1957) and Queen Maud of Norway (1869–1938), née Princess Maud of Wales,[1][2] and in a green sarcophagus rest King Olav V of Norway (1903–1991) and Crown Princess Märtha of Norway (1901–1954), née Princess of Sweden.[3][4]
The Royal Mausoleum also contains, in its walls, the remains of King Haakon V of Norway (1270–1319) and Queen Euphemia of Norway (1270–1312), née von Rügen, as well as that of King Sigurd I of Norway (c. 1090–1130). The remains were transferred from St. Mary's Church and St. Hallvard's Cathedral, respectively, both in Oslo.
