Grønland Church

The brick church features a central tower with four surrounding spires, exemplifying Romanesque Revival architecture with rounded arches and robust structural elements.

Wilhelm von Hanno designed this religious structure, which Bishop Jens Lauritz Arup consecrated on March 3, 1869, as part of Oslo's expansion during the late 19th century.

The interior includes Nordic wooden furnishings and stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes, reflecting the religious traditions of the Norwegian Lutheran community.

The church maintains approximately 800 seats and houses a historic Walcker Orgelbau organ from 1877, which underwent restoration by J. H. Jørgensen Orgelfabrik in 1961.

The congregation manages Vestasol camp at Larkollen near Moss, providing a dedicated space for social gatherings and community meetings throughout the year.
