Majorstuen

Majorstuen or Majorstua is a particularly affluent neighbourhood in the Frogner borough in the inner part of Oslo, Norway.

The neighborhood was named after a well-known public house that was located on the east side of Sørkedalsveien.

Dating from the 1700s, the house was named for Captain Michael Wilhelm von Sundt (1679–1753).

Majorstuen Church was designed by architects August Nielsen (1877–1956) and Harald Sund (1876–1940) in the style of Classicism with influences of art deco and neo-baroque.

The chapel, Cappella Johannea, is decorated with frescos with themes from the Book of Revelation, executed by the artist Per Vigeland (1904–1968) in 1932.

In 1928 the tunnel to the National Theatre station (called the Underground Railway) was built.
