This charming park begins at Fagerborg Church (neo-Gothic, granite) and stretches for some 500 meters to a fine panorama point in the northern end. There is a café on the top. Stensparken is a good choice if nearby St. Hanshaugen park is too crowded. Just west of the park there is a line of stately town houses.

A delightful public park on the highest hill in central Oslo. Great view of the city and surroundings. 1000 meters easy walk from Karl Johan street along Akersgata-Ullevålsveien past Vår Frelsers Gravlund (cemetery). The park has also given name to this popular neighborhood and to the larger administrative district (borough) that includes major parts of central Oslo.
The present building was erected 1920. Afterwards, except during World War II, it has been the most important gathering place for the Jewish community in Norway.
This 1931 building includes gallery and cafe. A prominent example of functionalism in Norway at the transition from neoclassicism.

The building sits on a small hill in the northern corner of Vår Frelsers graveyard. Old Aker church has its own grave yard built on terraces at the edge of the hill, the grave yard is a pretty park with fine panorama.
