The church of Agios Mamas was built in the 19th century. After 1974, the church was converted into a mosque and used as such until around 2014/2015. At that time, a new mosque was completed to the east of the church. After that, the building was left to its own devices.

This building is hidden in an inner courtyard between the Oosterkade and the Tweebaksmarkt, out of sight of the public road. In 1850, the reformed community had this simple church built for holding 'Bible readings for the needy'. In common parlance, this church was therefore also called the Poor Church or the Skippers Church, because many skippers from the Oosterkade went to this church.

The mosque is centrally located in the village, which had developed along the river of the same name, on a small plateau above the village road.

Gamlebyen Church is also called Oslo Hospital Church because it belongs to Oslo Hospital. The present church building was built in 1796 partly on the foundations of the Franciscan monastery church built around 1290. After the Reformation in 1536, the church was converted into a hospital. In 1567, when the Swedes attacked, the first church was destroyed. In 1581, a hospital was built on the ruins of the choir walls of the monastery church. In the 19th century, the church was rebuilt several times. In the period 1934-1939, it was restored by the architect Wilhelm K. Essendrop and regained a more original appearance.
