About Trinity Church

Trinity Church (Trefoldighetskirken) is a Church of Norway parish church in the Hammersborg neighbourhood of central Oslo, at Akersgata 60, next to the government quarter. With 1,000 seats it is one of the largest churches in Oslo. It was consecrated in 1858 by Bishop Jens Lauritz Arup. The neo-Gothic church with a central plan, two towers and an eight-sided dome was designed by the Hamburg architect Alexis de Chateauneuf, and the work was later entrusted to his pupil Wilhelm von Hanno, who modified the plans and shaped the interior details.

What's inside

The church is built of raw red brick, with vaults, arches and small columns in shades of grey, and is one of the few octagonal churches in Norway built in red brick. The octagonal nave has a Greek cross superimposed on it, with the choir in the apse, a shallow transept and an entrance flanked by two slender octagonal bell towers, under a central dome. The altarpiece of 1866 is Adolph Tidemand's painting of the Baptism of Jesus, the chandeliers were designed by Emanuel Vigeland in 1923, and the stained glass windows are by Frøydis Haavardsholm.
