St Mary's Church, Medieval church ruins in Gamlebyen, Norway
The stone foundations and remaining walls of St Mary's Church display Gothic architectural elements with two large western towers and a cruciform choir layout.
The church served as both a royal chapel and the office of Norway's Chancellor from 1314 until its destruction during the Swedish independence war in 1523.
Archaeological excavations at St Mary's Church revealed the burial sites of King Haakon V and Queen Euphemia, now transferred to the Royal Mausoleum at Akershus Castle.
The medieval ruins of St Mary's Church are located in Middelalderparken near the Sørenga neighborhood, accessible to visitors throughout the year.
Before the construction of the stone structure, excavations uncovered evidence of an earlier wooden church dating back to approximately 1050 on the same location.
