Sofienberg Church, Lutheran church in Sofienberg, Norway

Sofienberg Church exhibits a traditional Norwegian architectural design with detailed woodwork and stands prominently in the eastern section of Oslo.

The religious building, initially named Paulus Kirke when it opened in 1877, underwent two name changes before settling on Sofienberg Church in 1962.

The church displays notable artworks, including an 1879 altarpiece depicting Christ on the Cross by Otto Sinding and stained glass windows by Maria Vigeland.

Located at Rathkes gate 18 in Grünerløkka, the church provides seating for 500 people and functions as a concert venue due to its acoustic properties.

The German-made organ, installed in 2013 by Eule, contains 42 distinct voices and produces sound through the protected structure's resonant interior.

Location: Oslo Municipality

Inception: 1877
