Gamle rådhus is a building with a long history in Oslo, Norway. It is one of the oldest buildings in the Norwegian capital. It was built as the first town hall in Christiania (a former name of the City of Oslo, not to be confused with the Old Town, Oslo) in 1641. The construction of the town hall got financial support by King Christian IV. The building has historically been used for many purposes. A restaurant was appointed in a side wing in 1856 and moved to the main house in 1925.rom 1980 to 2010 a theatre museum was located in the side wing of the first floor.
The building was the Town Hall of Christiania between 1641 and 1733 on a central location right next to Akershus Fortress. It was later used as a fire station, temporarily as a church, then a private residence, the Supreme Court of Norway, the city's grand hall, a jail, the Freemason's meeting place, a museum and the current restaurant.

The restaurant moved to the main floor of the main house in 1925. Much of the inventory of the former restaurant was preserved. The building was damaged by fire in 1996, but was repaired and recreated by the owner, the City of Oslo.
