Sagene Church

The altarpiece was executed by the painter Christen Brun (1828-1905) and shows the removal of Jesus from the cross.

At the choir stairs a large baptismal fresco with a dove, the symbol of the Holy Ghost, created by Carsten Lien in 1919, restored in 1959.

Closest to the church ship are six stained-glass windows, each displaying two apostles with stylized ornaments in between.

[5] The first half of the "O helga natt" scene from episode 9 of the 3rd season of the critically acclaimed Norwegian TV show Skam takes place in the church interior.

The character of Isak (portrayed by Tarjei Sandvik Moe) famously storms out of a Christmas concert performed (among others) by Nils Bech to go meet his boyfriend Even (portrayed by Henrik Holm).
