Template:Infobox T-bane station
Frøen is a station on the Oslo T-bane in the Vestre Aker borough, it is the first station on Holmenkollbanen after Majorstuen.[1] The name refers to Frøen Gård, a stately estate located near the present location of the t-bane station, of which now only the manor house remains.[2] Previously, trains switched from third rail which was used on most of the network (now all), to overhead wire which was used on Holmenkollbanen, at Frøen.[3] Like the other stations on Holmenkollbanen, Frøen has short platforms which only accommodate two-car trains. Located near the point where Holmenkollbanen leaves the other lines, the two platforms are located far apart.[4]
During the Second World War, some metres of the rail tracks near Frøen were destroyed due to a bomb.[5]
Formerly there was also a Frøen station on Sognsvannsbanen, located near the present station. When Sognsvannsbanen was upgraded to metro standard in 1993, Frøen was one of the stations eliminated from that line.[6]
Frøen is located near the International Museum of Children's Art and the hospital Diakonhjemmet.[7]
