The characteristic apartment buildings that characterize the St. Hanshaugen district were built in the 1880s, and together with the park, form the basis for what many believe is one of Oslo's most beautiful areas.

At the end of the 18th century, St. Hanshaugen was part of the city park, and the knoll itself where the park is located today was used as pasture and a cemetery for horses, which gave it the nickname “Mærrahaugen”.

From 1875 to 1918, the park at St. Hanshaugen housed a Norwegian bear, a Swedish bear, a lioness with two cubs, a small troop of monkeys and a flock of exotic birds. The zookeeper lived in what is now called the Bear House, while the bear cage has been converted into what is now a gazebo. The period when there was a zoo in St. Hanshaugen coincides with the heyday when the park was one of the city's biggest attractions for Oslo residents and tourists.
