Fagerborg church
The listed Fagerborg kirke in the Oslo district of Fagerborg , located southwest in Stensparken , was completed in 1903 and belongs to the Fagerborg parish in the diocese of Oslo of the Evangelical Lutheran Norwegian Church , which was founded in 1898 .
Building
The construction, which began in 1901, was inaugurated on December 22, 1903 by Bishop Anton Christian Bang and has space for 480 parishioners. The three-aisled long church is based on drawings by the architect Hagbarth Martin Schytte-Berg , whose design prevailed against 54 competitors. The Art Nouveau church receives neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic style elements , which are modified in the sense of art nouveau through shape and choice of materials. The outer doors are in the national Romanesque style and the facade is made of exposed brickwork from coarsely and finely hewn Østfold granite .
Furnishing
The interior of the church is mainly in Art Nouveau style. The pulpit and altar panel were designed by the architect. The altar is a wooden block altar and the pulpit is made of American pine . Johan Borgerson made the carvings for the pulpit based on drawings by Schytte-Berg. The stained glass by the imperial and royal court glass painter Max Roth (from the Miksa Roth studio in Budapest , Hungary ) cost 2,634 Norwegian kroner , according to the parish .
The neo-Romanesque marble baptismal font stands on an octagonal base. Around the baptismal font there is an inscription according to Titus 3: 5: “ Efter sin barmhjertighet har han frelst oss ved gjenfødelsens bad ” (German: “after his mercy he made us happy through the bath of rebirth and renewal”). The altar panel was made by the sculptor Jo Visdal . Some changes have been made to it over the years.
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary in 1953, the interior of the church was extensively restored, with a new chandelier according to plans by the architect Harald Hille .
organ
The organ is next to the choir . Construction of the original organ was completed in 1903 and replaced by an organ with 39 voices and 2,728 pipes in 1932 . In 2007 a new organ from Goll from Lucerne with 54 registers was inaugurated, which is one of the largest in Oslo. The Solowerk is a high pressure work; the registers are on old pocket shops; the solo work does not have its own manual, but can be played from the 2nd and 3rd manual. The instrument has mechanical action actions; the key actions of the solo work are electric. The register actions are mechanically and additionally equipped with magnets for control by means of the setting system.
