St. Hanshaugen
To the southeast of the park is Oslo’s oldest building – Aker Kirke, built around 1100, but restored from ruins around 1860, and then again in the 1950s in a more authentic style. Next to the church is the cemetery Vår Frelsers gravlund, created in 1808 as a result of the great famine and cholera epidemic of the Napoleonic Wars. The nearby area around Damstredet and Telthusbakken is interesting since it retains the small town character of Oslo in the first part of the 19th century.
Old Bishop's Palace in Oslo
After a fire in 1722, the current manor house ("Oslo Ladegård") was erected by Karen Toller on the site in 1725. Oslo Ladegård was built in classical Baroque architecture style on the foundation of former Bishop's Palace. Today the manor house is used by the City of Oslo as a museum and concert hall.
