Square Public square and transit hub in Oslo
A square in Oslo’s Grünerløkka district, Schous plass sits by tram lines and old brewery buildings; locals and visitors gather for cafés, markets and neighborhood events.
Schous plass is a public square in the Grünerløkka district of Oslo, Norway. It functions as a small urban green space and local meeting point within the city.
The open area contains planted trees, benches and paths and sits adjacent to mixed residential and cultural buildings. The square is used for everyday recreation and as a local node for nearby cafes and venues.
The site takes its name from the Schou family and the former Schou Brewery nearby; the immediate area developed around industry and later residential growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The square has since remained a neighbourhood open space rather than a major historical monument.
Schous plass sits within central Oslo’s Grünerløkka quarter, about a short walk northeast of Oslo city centre. The square is embedded in a dense urban neighbourhood of streets, cafés and small parks.
- Location: Located in the Grünerløkka neighbourhood, a short walk from central Oslo and well served by local trams and buses.
