Høybråten Church, Lutheran church in Grorud Valley, Oslo, Norway

The brick and cement church, designed by architect Georg Greve, stands surrounded by one of Oslo's largest cemeteries in the Stovner borough.

The structure began as a burial chapel in 1929 and transformed into a church in 1932, later receiving parish church status in 1966.

Per Vigeland created the mosaic decorating the altar and altarpiece in 1955, adding artistic elements to the religious space.

The church building accommodates 168 people and contains an organ manufactured by Jørgensens Orgelfabrikk in 1974 on its upper loft.

A memorial next to the church honors local World War II casualties, created by Dagfinn Hermansen and revealed to the public in 1947.
