The Seamen’s Memorial Hall

Local nameSjømennenes minnehall
LocationLarvik, Norway

Minnehallen or Hall of Remembrance is a national memorial located outside Stavern in Larvik, Vestfold, Norway.

The memorial was commissioned by the Norwegian Parliament after World War I to commemorate the fallen Norwegian sailors of the war. It was unveiled by King Haakon VII and was later converted to the national monument commemorating fallen sailors of both World War I and World War II. The monument itself is a pyramid of locally quarried rock and is designed by two architects from Oslo, Andreas Hesselberg Bjercke and Georg Christen Eliassen.

Nic Schiøll has made a relief describing the lives and fate of the sailors as well as a decoration in the crypt. Copper tablets display the names of 1,892 sailors who died during World War I and 3,456 names of sailors who died in World War II.
