The church is surrounded by Sofienberg Park, where it was previously a cemetery.

The altarpiece, which shows Christ on the Cross was painted by Otto Sinding in 1879.

The church has stained glass windows at the main entrance, made by Maria Vigeland (1951) and on the south wall, made by Enevold Thømt (1920).

The church is known to have good acoustics and is an attractive concert venue in Oslo's Eastend.
