Sagene kirke – et landemerke med sjel Sagene kirke ruver vakkert i landskapet, som en stille vokter over bydelen. Med sin karakteristiske nygotiske stil og rike detaljer i rød teglstein, er den et av Oslos vakreste kirkebygg – både utenpå og inni. Den ble innviet i 1891, og har siden vært et samlingspunkt for tro, kultur og fellesskap midt i hjertet av Sagene. Kirken bærer på både historie og verdighet. De høye, spisse buene, det storslåtte orgelet og de vakre glassmaleriene gir rommet en høytidelig, nesten tidløs ro. Det er et sted der man kan finne stillhet i en travel by, men også et sted som lever – gjennom konserter, gudstjenester, vielser, dåp og livets store øyeblikk. Sagene kirke er ikke bare et religiøst rom – det er et kulturelt og sosialt kraftsentrum. Den er åpen for alle, troende som søkende, lokalbeboere som besøkende. Her møtes mennesker, her deles sorg og glede, her får man være i fred – eller i fellesskap. Det finnes kirker som er større, mer kjente eller rikere utsmykket. Men Sagene kirke har noe eget – en varme og en menneskelig nærhet som gjør at mange føler seg hjemme her. Den står der – urokkelig, vakker og åpen – som et anker i både historien og nåtiden.

Veldig fin kirke :)

In the middle of the neighborhood. Quiet and holy and peaceful.
