Vålerenga Church, Art Nouveau church in Vålerenga district, Oslo, Norway.
The church features an asymmetric tower design, combining architectural elements with stone outer walls and colorful stained glass windows throughout the structure.
Built by architects Heinrich Jürgensen and Holger Sinding-Larsen, the church was first consecrated in 1902 and later reconstructed after a devastating fire in 1979.
The building inspired the song 'Vålerenga Kjerke' by Trond Ingebretsen, which local sports fans regularly sing during Vålerenga IF matches.
Located at Hjaltlandsgt 3 in the heart of Vålerenga park, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors throughout the year.
Following the 1979 fire, artist Håkon Bleken contributed new artwork to replace the lost Emanuel Vigeland frescoes during the 1984 reconstruction.
