History and description
After a fire in the Kampen district of Oslo in 1878, considerations arose several times to build a church for the area in the vacant lots, which was finally decided by the diocese of Oslo . The new parish was founded on May 29, 1880. In the meantime, the congregation uses the Grønland kirke and Betania Bedehus for their services. The Kampen Church was built in 1882 in a simple neo-Gothic style by the Danish-Norwegian architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan . The construction costs for the structure were around 108,000 crowns . The inauguration took place on November 29, 1892 by the Oslo bishop Carl Peter Parelius .
As a so-called long church ( Norwegian langkirke ), the building has a rectangular floor plan and has 550 seats. The facade of the church building is made of red brick and the helmet roof of the church tower is covered with copper sheet. The altarpiece of the church shows two women at the grave of Jesus on Easter morning and was created in 1884 by the Norwegian painter and sculptor Axel Ender and restored in 1913. In 1940 the church was renovated for the first time and the interior of the nave was repainted. The community cemetery is located right next to the church.
