Middelalderparken

The park extends across 70 acres, featuring preserved stone foundations from medieval buildings and a reflective water surface marking the original Alna River outlet.

After Oslo's relocation following a fire in 1624, the medieval ruins remained undiscovered until railway construction projects in the mid-1800s revealed these archaeological sites.

The preserved ruins include remnants of St Clement's Church, St Mary's Church, and Oslo Kongsgård, representing the largest collection of medieval ruins in Nordic countries.

The park connects to the harbor area through walking paths, with informational signs in multiple languages explaining the historical significance of each archaeological site.

The reconstructed medieval shoreline demonstrates the water level difference of 3-4 meters between current Oslo and its 13th-century predecessor.
