Sofienberg Park

[4] The park takes its name from a country villa called Sofienberg which was located at the upper end of Nødre Dælenenga between Torshovbekken and Trondheimsveien.

From 1799 to 1830 it was owned by Jacob Nielsen, an official, and then by the merchant Niels Rosenberg until 1857.

The first section of the park was opened in 1920 flanking Toftes Gate.

While the gravestones were moved to other cemeteries around the city, one section which had never been used for burials was used for a children's playground in the 1930s.

[6] Sofienberg Church which is located inside the park dates from 1877.
