About Uranienborg Church

Uranienborg Church is a parish church in the Uranienborg neighbourhood of Oslo, next to Uranienborg Park behind the Royal Palace. The church and Uranienborg School just below it were both built in 1886; the brick church, designed by Balthazar Lange, later city architect of Christiania, was the most expensive church built in the city at that time. It was consecrated on 22 December 1886. The building has a Gothic feel and stained glass by Emanuel Vigeland; its original frescoes by Enevold Thømt have been lost, and the interior was given its present form by Arnstein Arneberg in 1930. The church has 1,020 seats.
