Oslo Bazaars (Basarene Kirkeristen) are located at Oslo Cathedral, along the streets Karl Johans gate and Dronningens gate in Oslo, Norway.[1]

The bazaars were constructed from 1841 onwards. The halls were designed in Romanesque Revival style by architect Christian Heinrich Grosch. They were originally built for butchers selling meat at the nearby market place Stortorvet. Later when this proved insufficient, construction continued along the same design in a semicircle east of the church, with more than 50 stalls in total. Today the bazaar halls are listed as a protected site.[2][3]
