Frogner Church, Art Nouveau church in Frogner, Norway

Frogner Church is an Art Nouveau church designed by Ivar Næss and completed in 1907 in Oslo. It features a granite main facade and brick secondary facades that integrate it into a residential streetscape.

Ivar Næss designed and built this church in 1907, blending late Norman and Romanesque architectural features. The building represents a bridge between historical religious traditions and early 20th-century design approaches.

The interior features gold mosaics created by Per Vigeland in 1947 for the altar and pulpit, enriching the worship space. These decorative elements, along with stained glass windows and ornaments for the organ gallery, give the church a refined artistic character.

The church sits nestled among residential buildings on a quiet street, making it easy to find and explore on foot. Its entrance is accessible, allowing visitors to experience the interior and its artistic details at their own pace.

Valentin Kielland painted an altar image depicting Saint Olav, Martin Luther, and Hans Nielsen Hauge. He also created a stone relief of the Lamb of God, a distinctive artistic work that stands out within the church.
