Mortensrud Church

Mortensrud Church is famous for its unusual modern architecture. The construction of the building is made of slate, glass and steel and implements the surrounding nature within itself, cleverly and thoughtfully. The altar of the church includes three exceptional stones: one from the island where Mandela was once imprisoned, one from Jerusalem and one from the Berlin wall.
