Torshov Church

The building combines stone and wood construction with copper plates, creating a distinctive exterior design at the intersection of Åsengata and Nordkappgata streets.

Constructed in 1958, the church marked the establishment of Torshov as an independent congregation from Sagene, reflecting the neighborhood's growth during the twentieth century.

Interior decorations by Frithjof Tidemand-Johannessen enhance the religious space, which accommodates 400 people for services and community gatherings.

The church location near Oslo Tramway lines connecting Majorstuen and Kjelsås provides convenient access for visitors from different parts of the city.

The name Torshov originates from an old farm, deriving from the Old Norse term Þórshof, connecting the site to the Norse god Thor.
