Ullern bydel

Ullern Church is a cruciform Romanesque stone church in the Ullern district of Oslo, built in 1903 to plans by the architect Harald Bødtker. The building is dominated by a striking square central tower with a copper-clad gabled roof. Inside, the church impresses with its apse, which is adorned with the fresco "The Ascension" by Eilif Peterssen. The picture is completed by a marble canopy over the altar, a pulpit, and stained-glass windows from 1915. The adjoining churchyard serves as the final resting place for several well-known Norwegian figures, including the painter Thorbjørn Egner and the composer Håkon Christie.
