 * Trefoldighet: 1857-1952

History of the parish
Trefoldighet parish was established by a Royal resolution March 22, 1858. It was created partly from an area that had earlier belonged to Vor Frelser parish and partly from an area of Bymarka that had been annexed as part of the city in 1857, previously a part of Aker parish jurisdiction until 1858. The border to Vor Frelser in the south and east went from Grunerbrua through Møllerveien and Fredenborgsveien probably as far as Damstredet, across to the intersection of Ullevålsveien and Nordahl Bruns gate, down to Pilestredet, and up Pilestredet to Adamstuen. Aker parish bordered it on the north and east. The parish border to the west followed the existing city limts from Fagerborg in the north to the ocean, where Niels Juels gate starts, in the south.

A Royal resolution July 10, 1874 divided off the southern part of the parish as Johannes parish.
