    In 2015, I was on a 3 month appointment as Visiting Scholar in Bergen, Norway and I lived in an apartment just down the street. This church, it's minister made this English Speaker feel so welcome. I formed several important friendships with Norwegians here. I tried to attend each Sunday. It was my spiritual home, essential to my well being while visiting Bergen

    It was raining so we decided to see the Organ recital late evening. Fantastic decision. The church has a wooden roof which made it look very different and classy. Worth a visit when you’re in Bergen, where it rains 220 days.

  • 3/5 Steve C. 1 year ago on Google
    Surprisingly austere for a Catholic Church but definitely worth climbing the steps to visit. Lovely dark wood vaulted ceiling and geometric-patterned stained glass. If you're in Bergen, do pay a visit.

    Lovely church at the end of the main street. Brick exterior but wooden inside.

    The view point from the church was great. The church was closed when I visited. It's very near to the main city area.
