Old Aker Church
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 during the reign of Olav Kyrre (1066-93). 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 is built in 1861.
