Gamlebyen Gravlund (Old Town's Cemetery), Oslo

Gamlebyan Gravlund is adjacent to Gamlebyan Church, or Old Town Church. The cemetery is sometimes known as Oslo Hospital Cemetery due to the fact that the graveyard, like Gamlebyan Church, is owned by the hospital.

The cemetery is still in use with the oldest graves dating to the early 1800s. The cemetery includes a field of sailor's graves, graves for railway employees and a Muslim burial field in which all graves face Mecca. The cemetery includes a field and monument for those who have been cremated. The oldest grave at Gamlebyan belongs to Barbara Margarethe Brockmann Schnitlek who passed away on May 1, 1829. The majority of the graves began appearing in the late 19th century and continue being placed through present day.

Visitors are welcome to walk respectfully through the graveyard if they wish. It has a large walking path that is shaded by mature trees, which provide a nice break from the traffic on nearby Dyvekes vei.
