Drammen Theater
Drammen Theater (Drammens Teater) in Drammen was built in 1869 and was designed by Swedish architect Emil Victor Langlet (1824-1898). The theater was designed by the same model as Parisian theaters as the Châtelet, and performed in a complex Renaissance style with symmetrical facades and round arched windows. The theater was the first modern theater house in the country and was regarded as one of the most beautiful in the Nordic countries.{{cite web|url= https://nkl.snl.no/Emil_Victor_Langlet|title= Emil Victor Langlet|publisher = Norsk kunstnerleksikon|author= Ole Petter Bjerkek
