Akershus Castle Church is the main church of the armed forces. In all probability, there has been a church or chapel on the fortress since the time of Håkon V Magnusson in the early 14th century. The present church is located in the south wing of Akershus Castle, where parts of the first floor were converted into a church after a fire in 1527.
