St. Edmund's Church, Oslo

Saint Edmund’s Church is an Anglican place of worship, with a predominantly English speaking congregation. The church has had a presence in the city since the mid 19th century. The current building located on Møllersgata was dedicated in 1883, and consecrated by the Bishop of Fulham. Whilst the church belongs in theory to the Church of England, it hosts worshipers from Anglophone nations around the world. Each Sunday, Saint Edmund’s congregation is made up of nationals from over twenty countries, making it one of Oslo’s most diverse churches. The Sunday service takes place at 11am, with an informal coffee morning taking place afterwards.

A compact neo-Gothic design, the church is often referred to as a miniature cathedral. Designed by architect Paul Due, it is known for its stained glass windows and ornate central spire, which stand out in a fairly drab corner of the city. The church is a welcoming city center place of worship, and hosts a Junior Church, student group and women only events. There is also a choir who host regular recitals. Saint Edmund’s Church is the popular choice for Christians visiting Oslo from other countries, or migrants looking for a new place of worship in Norway.
