About this cemetery
The Cemetery of Our Saviour (Vår Frelsers gravlund) is in Oslo's Gamle Aker district, north of Hammersborg and next to the older Old Aker Cemetery. It was created in 1808 as a result of the great famine and cholera epidemic of the Napoleonic Wars, and its grounds were extended in 1911. It has been full, and closed for new graves, since 1952.
