The church in Fagerborg was designed by the architect Hagbarth Schytte-Berg and consecrated in 1903. The church is built of Norwegian granite with unevenly sized blocks and a rough surface. It is influenced by English neo-Gothic with curved openings and a large tower placed asymmetrically at the entrance.

Døvekyrkja (Church of the Deaf) is located on the site of a former prayer house used by the Kristiania Deaf Association. The land where the present church is located was taken over in 1965 and the church was consecrated in 1974.
The church of Majorstuen is a long church dating from 1926. It was designed by the architects August Nielsen and Harald Sund. The "Cappella Johannea" is decorated with frescoes with motifs from the Revelation of John, created by the artist Per Vigeland in 1932.
Markus' church was consecrated in 1927. It is a church with three naves on two floors, with brick facades. The church is one of the few churches in Oslo to be built in a dense neighbourhood with flat blocks on both sides. The land was a rock when the church was built, so there is a staircase going up from street level to Ullevålsveien. The main entrance is through the Schwensens gate. The architect is Sverre Knudsen, who has spent a long time in Sweden and is interested in Swedish architecture. The style is a mixture of Nordic neo-baroque (facade towards Ullevålsveien) and neoclassicism.
