Old Church of Aker
The old church of Aker is a stone church from the 12th century. The church has the shape of a basilica with a raised nave above the narrower and lower aisles. As part of the rehabilitation work in the 1850s, more and larger windows were installed and the lime plaster on the outside was removed. At the same time, the church received its large central tower. In the 1850s, when the parish of Aker was divided into three, there were plans to demolish the church of Gamle Aker, but this was prevented when the municipality bought the church in 1852. The medieval interior is not preserved, but in the 1950s attempts were made to give the church a more medieval appearance.
