Самое старое здание Осло. Построено в 11 веке. Внутри атмосферно, камерно. Впечатляет. Если кто-то есть внутри, поговорите. Лютеранская церковь уникальна.

Visited. It was old. Thankful for the pamphlet. The outside in bricks is visually appeasing. Grazie Gesú.

Vakker gammel steinkirke som er veldig moderne renovert i kjelleren med kjøkkenkrok møterom og toilettfasiliteter. Sang i et bryllup. Flott akustikk.
