Sagene Kirke

Today, McKelvie and I slept in and then decided to explore the neighborhood around her apartment complex. We walked south and discovered a ton of sushi restaurants, a couple of pizza places within walking distance, a burger joint or two, a lot of small grocery stores, and many apartment complexes - a pretty nice, diverse neighborhood with a lot of green spaces. We also found the Sagene Kirke, a beautiful church. Wikipedia says, "The church was inaugurated in 1891. It was designed by architect Christian Fürst in Neo-Gothic , with red jointed brick, spire and roof covered with slate, and 600 seats. The altarpiece is a copy of the altarpiece in Antwerp Cathedral , 'The Descent of the Cross by Rubens.'...The organ is a Hollenbach organ from 1891 and the only remaining Hollenbach organ in Norway."Read more
