Paulus Church is a brick church in Neo-Gothic style inaugurated in 1892. Architect: Henrik Bull Bull wanted the church to harmonize with the park outside (Birkelunden), so instead of the usual orientation with the chancel in the east, the Paulus church has the entrance to the east - facing the park and the school. Service every Sunday at 11 am. The church is open when possible on weekdays between 10 am and 2 pm.

A typical Norwegian cemetery. While in some countries the tombs are enormous marble constructions, like the tombs of some Egyptian pharaos, the Norwegian stones are usually never larger than 1 meter high. You have the choice of caring the grave self or pay for professional care. A neat cemetery if you are in the mood of visiting cemeteries.

This baroque church, the main church of the Church of Norway (Lutheran), is the third cathedral in Oslo. Building was started in 1694 and completed three years later. It has undergone multiple remodelings, some changing the original character and style of the Cathedral. The most recent facelift was completed in 2010. Built of a nondescript red brick, the single-spire church is not much to look at from the outside. Inside, however, it is a surprisingly decorated and colorful church, with beautiful frescoes on the ceiling, an elaborately carved main altar, a delightful baroque pulpit, glorious stained glass, and a fabulous organ and choir in the back of the church.
