About Bekkelaget Church

Bekkelaget Church is a stone long church at Bekkelaget in the Nordstrand district of Oslo. The Bekkelaget parish was split from Nordstrand parish in 1913, and planning for a church began at once; designed by the municipal architect Harald Bødtker, it was consecrated on 27 May 1923. The entrance is on the north side with the choir and apse to the south, and the tower stands beside the north gable. Enevold Thømt was responsible for all the interior decoration and furnishings, giving the church a unified character. The 21-voice organ was built by Robert Gustavsson in 1986, and an urn cemetery surrounds the church.
