Church of the Cross, Medieval church ruins in Old Town, Norway.
The stone foundations and remaining walls of the Holy Cross Church stand within Minneparken, adjacent to St. Hallvard's Cathedral ruins in Oslo.
Archaeological evidence, including a runic inscription discovered in 1989, dates the church construction to before the 1240 battle between King Haakon IV and Duke Skule.
The church ruins maintain visible elements of the original altar foundation and cemetery wall, representing medieval Norwegian ecclesiastical architecture.
The archaeological site lies at coordinates 59.907 latitude and 10.7695 longitude, making it accessible for visitors exploring Oslo's historical landmarks.
Two separate entrances marked the original structure: one from the cemetery on the western side and another leading directly to the chancel from the south.
