St. Edmund's Church

St. Edmund's Church is a church building in the Neo-Gothic style located on Møllergata in Oslo, featuring a striking exterior of yellow and red brick. The structure displays pointed arch windows, ribbed vaults, and external buttresses that are characteristic of Gothic architecture.

The building was completed in 1884 by architects Paul Due and Bernhard Steckmest and consecrated that same year by an Anglican bishop. It was built during a period when Oslo was developing as a significant European center.

The church serves as a gathering place for people from different backgrounds and communities who come together in this space. It plays an important role in the life of the neighborhood, bringing together individuals from various parts of the world.

The interior is accessible, though the crypt is currently undergoing renovation work. The best times to visit are the quieter hours before or after services, when you can take in the architectural details at your own pace.

The building had a close connection with the royal family and was visited by a Norwegian queen. This royal connection is preserved through a commemorative bust displayed inside, marking this part of the church's story.
