Romsås Church
Romsås Church is a church in Oslo, Norway. The church is built of granite and yellow brick in a postmodern style and was consecrated in 1995. The former wooden church that stood on the same site burned to the ground in 1986.[2][3] The entrance is shaped like a large arch with a large wooden cross inside. The church room is fan-shaped. The altar in the church is shaped like a podium, raised a few steps above the rest of the church room. On each side of is a simple, modern pulpit. Both the baptismal font and altar are, presumably, made of local granite. On the altar itself is a crucifix, behind the altar is a large wooden cross. Other items in the church include a dove created by Nina Sundbye, and a large blanket made by local school children hangs over the entrance hall inside the church. The blanket shows the red thread over a thousand years from the ancient Moster Church to the new church at Romsås. The church organ has 13 voices and was delivered by organ builder Ryde & Berg in Fredrikstad in the year 2000. The separate bell tower with church bells is in brick.[3][4] Moving ground under the church has caused the walls to slip out, the floor has begun to sink and there are cracks between the floor and the walls.[1]  References
