The story

Story · Tromsø Cathedral

  • en

You're standing at Tromsø Cathedral, right in the middle of the city. Take a good look. This big yellow church is made entirely of wood. It's the only Protestant cathedral in Norway built of wood, and probably the northernmost Protestant cathedral in the world. Those pointed shapes tell you it's Gothic Revival, designed by the architect Christian Heinrich Grosch. The tower and main entrance face west.
