Background History The building was originally a school for the deaf, ('Trondheim Deaf-Mute Institute') and later ('Trondheim Public School for the Deaf'), founded by Andreas Christian Møller. It included apartments for both-sex students and the warden, and a prayer room. During World War II it was used as a hospital. In 1991 the school was transferred to Heimdal. Rødbygget The Neo-Gothic style was characteristic of Grosch's later works. A common element of these was the brick façade. The highly decorated inner courtyard is rather unusual in Trondheim.
