Spikersuppa Skating Rink, Spikersuppa skøytebane, Eidsvolls plass, Karl Johans gate, Oslo, Norway

---

In 1956, a plan by architect Arnstein Arneberg was set into motion, creating a decorative pool of water at Eidsvolls plass. Funded by the company Christiania Spigerverk (spikerverk means "nail factory"), it was humorously nicknamed Spikersuppa ("nail soup"). The pool has a fountain in the middle, and since 1958 a group of trees as well as a statue of deer in the west. The pool was enlarged by 25% in 1976, and since 1994 it is used as a skating rink during the winter.
