Oslo Cathedral

The cathedral is the main church of the Norwegian Diocese of Oslo and is used for weddings as well as funerals by the Norwegian royal family and the Norwegian government.

The parish church in central Oslo was first consecrated in 1697, and in 1950 it was restored to its original Baroque interior.

In the church there is a mass in Norwegian, it takes place on weekdays and every Sunday, it is also regularly used for concerts. It is worth noting that excursions to the church must be booked in advance.

The cathedral features large ceiling frescoes, painted by Hugo Luz Mor between 1936 and 1950, and stained glass windows by Emanuel Vigeland. The chapel on the south side, designed by architect Arnstein Arneberg, was completed in 1950. The “bazaar halls” around the cathedral were built between 1841 and 1858. Previously, the temple was called the Savior Church.

Getting to the cathedral is easy and easy. The city has all types of transport, and the people themselves are very responsive and always help.
