Chateau Neuf is a building in Oslo, Norway that houses Det Norske Studentersamfund (The Norwegian Students' Society), including cafes, bars, performance centers, and other facilities for student assembly. It is situated at Slemdalsveien 15 near Majorstuen just south of the main campus of the University of Oslo at Blindern.
Though the name literally means 'New Castle' in French, it also involves a pun on the French 'neuf,' which is pronounced like the Norwegian onomatopoeia for 'oink,' alluding to the Student Society's personified patron and coat of arms symbol, 'His majesty The Golden Pig.'
