The 1892 Paulus Church is a typical long church with cross arms near the chancel to the west and a tower above the entrance to the east. It is built of plastered red brick. The church, designed by the architect Henrik Bull, is richly designed and characterised by the German neo-Gothic style of the time, inspired by the Hanoverian architect Johannes Otzen, just like the Sagene church of 1891.
The Iladalen church was built according to the drawings of Ragnar Nilsen in 1941. Together with the park and the adjacent dwellings, the church is part of a large listed functionalist architectural project. The interior is also characterised by simple and clean forms in a mixture of neoclassicism and functionalism.
The Torshov church is a long church dating from 1958. It is often considered to be the first active church in the country (a church building which, in addition to the parish hall, also has other halls for various activities). The church was designed by the architects Ulf Nyquist and Per Sunde, while the decorations were designed by Frithjof Tidemand-Johannessen. The composer Knut Nystedt was for many years the organist of the church in Torshov.
