Minnehallen or Hall of Remembrance is a national memorial located outside Stavern in Larvik, Vestfold, Norway.
The memorial was commissioned by the Norwegian Parliament after World War I to commemorate the fallen Norwegian sailors of the war. It was unveiled by King Haakon VII and was later converted to the national monument commemorating fallen sailors of both World War I and World War II. The monument itself is a pyramid of locally quarried rock and is designed by two architects from Oslo, Andreas Hesselberg Bjercke (1883–1967) and Georg Christen Eliassen (1880–1964).
