Old Aker Church (Gamle Aker kirke) is Oslo's oldest
remaining building and the only remaining church from the Middle Ages. It is
assumed that it was built around the year 1150. It is a stone church, built as
a three-naved Roman-style basilica.
The church has been pillaged and ravaged by fire several
times. The oldest part of the surrounding churchyard dates back to the 12th
century. The church has a baroque pulpit and baptismal font from 1715. The
tower was built in 1861.
Æreslunden was established in 1904, and famous Norwegians
such as Edvard Munch, Henrik Ibsen, Henrik Wergeland, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson,
Richard Nordrak, Christian Krogh and Alf Prøysen are buried here.
