Gamlebyen Church, Private church in Gamle Oslo, Norway
The brick church stands at the foot of Ekeberg slope, opposite to Gamlebyen Cemetery, with a tower replacing the medieval choir section.
The current structure, completed in 1796, sits on the foundations of a Franciscan monastery from 1290 and incorporates Louis XVI architectural elements.
The church building belongs to Oslo University Hospital and serves as the parish church for Gamlebyen, with services held for the local community.
The interior space accommodates 200 people and remains operational despite its age, though access for general visitors requires advance arrangements.
Medieval ruins beneath the church structure reveal the original monastery foundations, connecting the site to Oslo's earliest brick construction period.
