Akershus slottskirke

The church occupies the entire first floor of Akershus Fortress southern wing, featuring a collection of historical furnishings and architectural elements from different periods.

Following a fire in 1527, part of the first floor was transformed into a church, which expanded to cover the entire level by 1578.

The church functions as the primary religious center for the Norwegian Armed Forces, with the garrison priest managing services and ecclesiastical activities.

Religious services occur from mid-March through June and from early August through the first Sunday of Advent, with Sunday mass at 11:00 AM.

The royal mausoleum beneath the church contains the burial sites of Norwegian monarchs, including King Haakon VII and Queen Maud.
