About Minneparken
Minneparken (the Memorial Park) is a 3.4-hectare park in Gamlebyen in the Gamle Oslo district, next to Oslo torg, containing the excavated ruins of several medieval buildings. The archaeologist Gerhard Fischer, who led excavations in the 1920s, proposed a memorial park, approved by the municipality in 1928. The ruins include St. Hallvard's Cathedral, an early 12th-century Romanesque basilica used until 1660; St. Olav's Monastery, founded by the Dominicans at the end of the 12th century and probably burned in 1536; and the small Romanesque Holy Cross Church, demolished after the Reformation.
