A year ago on this day a fire broke in Notre-Dame de Paris, one of the most famous cathedral in the world.
Did you know that in 1711 the oldest Parisian monument was discovered in its basement?
Dating from the 1st century, the Pillar of the Boatmen appears to be an offering from the boatmen of the Seine (the nautes) to the Roman emperor Tiberius who then reigned over Gaul.
However, their allegiance remained cautious: the pillar (also called a dedication stone) represents both the Celtic pantheon and that of the new Roman rulers, a rare example of syncretism.

Injustice cries the slave, as he rattles his chains a little louder.
With every demand, his chains get tighter.
With every plea, his case weaker.
His Suffering, his consent.

Another beautiful example of the Teutonic-Revival Dragestil architecture!

Holmenkollen tourist hotel, former hotel at Holmenkollen which was located approximately where the parking lot in front of the WC house was later built.
The hotel was built in 1889 and was designed by architect Holm Munthe. It burned in 1895 and was rebuilt in 1896 (arch. Ole Sverre). The tourist hotel was one of the main works in the Norwegian kite style. Inside, the hotel was decorated by Gerhard Munthe and Theodor Kittelsen, with woven rugs and wood carvings in the National Art Nouveau style. The famous "Adventure Room" was in its entirety a product of Gerhard Munthe's creative imagination.
From 1898, guests could arrive at the hotel with the newly opened Holmenkolbanen .
The hotel burned down in 1914 after a lightning strike. It was not rebuilt, instead the business was moved to the sanatorium a hundred meters further up, such as Holmenkollen Tourist Hotel and Sanatorium, what is now Scandic Holmenkollen Park .
During the war, the Germans built several of the barracks in Holmenkollen camp , where the hotel had been located. They lay there until the early 1960s. There are still two shelters on each side of this part of the camp area, one on the slope to the west, the other on the other side of Kongeveien .
