Queen Maud used to visit this church, and there is a bust of her in the church, which otherwise is adorned with stained glass windows.
The church has a modest size. While churches often dominate their surroundings and towers stretch over neighbouring buildings, this church is modestly squeezed between larger buildings. It is said, however, that it came more into its own after some old buildings around it were demolished.
The church has – despite its small size – the shape of a cathedral. It was designed by architect Paul Due and Bernhard Steckmest, in yellow and red brick in a simple, neo-Gothic style. The church was restored in 1990, and the tower was then replaced with a new one of roughly the same shape and size as the original.[1][2][3]
