St Sunniva School (original) (raw)

St. Sunniva School (St. Sunniva skole) is an independent Roman Catholic school located in the centre of Oslo, Norway. The school was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph from Chambéry in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. Founded in 1865, it was part of an effort to restore Roman Catholicism in Norway. Queen Josephine, consort of Sweden and Norway, was an ardent supporter of the school. Her sister Queen Amélie, Empress of Brazil, also provided support.
