About This Design

Akershus Fortress in Oslo, Norway Poster

Akershus Fortress in Oslo, Norway Poster

The mediaeval stone fortification of Akershus Fortress looms on the shore of Oslofjord in Oslo, the capital of Norway. Also known as Akershus Castle, the fortress has also been used as a prison. King Haakon V started construction on the castle in the late 1290s in response to a major attack on the city of Oslo. Akershus Fortress became one of the two most important Norwegian castles of the period. The fortress has successfully survived all sieges, primarily by Swedish forces. In the early 17th century, King Christian IV modernised and remodeled the fortress in a renaissance style. Although the fortress has never been successfully captured by a foreign enemy, it surrendered without combat to Nazi Germany in 1940 when the Norwegian government evacuated the capital when the Germans attacked Denmark and Norway. The German occupiers surrendered in May 1945. In modern times, Akershus Fortress has been used for official events and dinners for dignitaries and foreign heads of state. Several members of Norwegian royalty are buried in the royal mausoleum there.

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it. I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
