A Franciscan friary from 1966 by Kjell Lund and Nils Slaatto, hidden between the Enerhaugen tower blocks: a closed square of hand-made brick and raw concrete around a round church whose concrete ceiling hangs down like an upside-down dome. One of the key works of Norwegian post-war architecture, with prizes to prove it.
