Vestre Aker Church, Gothic Revival church in Ullevaal, Norway

The church features intricate stained glass windows crafted by Bernhard Greve, with a central field from 1939 and side windows completed in 1955.

Constructed in 1855 and initially named Aker Church, the building received its current name Vestre Aker Church in 1861 after the local parish division.

The pulpit inside the church originated from Oslo Cathedral, following architectural drawings by Alexis de Chateauneuf created around 1850.

The church maintains regular worship services with seating for 500 people and includes a parish house added in 1983 for community activities.

The building contains a 27-voice organ and two bells in its tower, serving the parishes of Bakkehaugen, Majorstuen, and Vestre Aker.
