I
loved
it.
Tromsø
Cathedral
is
a
cathedral
of
the
Church
of
Norway
located
in
the
city
of
Tromsø
in
Tromsø
Municipality
in
Troms
county,
Norway.
The
cathedral
is
the
church
for
the
Tromsø
Domkirkens
parish
and
it
is
the
headquarters
for
the
Tromsø
domprosti
(arch-deanery)
and
the
Diocese
of
Nord-Hålogaland.
This
cathedral
is
notable
since
it
is
the
only
Norwegian
cathedral
made
of
wood.
The
yellow,
wooden
cathedral
was
built
in
a
long
church
format
and
in
the
Gothic
Revival
style
in
1861
by
the
architect
Christian
Heinrich
Grosch.
The
church
tower
and
main
entrance
are
on
the
west
front.
It
is
probably
the
northernmost
Protestant
cathedral
in
the
world.
With
over
600
seats,
it
is
one
of
Norway's
biggest
wooden
churches.
It
originally
held
about
984
seats,
but
many
benches
and
seats
have
been
removed
over
the
years
to
make
room
for
tables
in
the
back
of
the
church.
We
really
enjoyed
spending
some
time
at
the
cathedral,
and
to
us
it
was
quintessentially
Norwegian
and
on
par
with
several
of
the
older
churches
we
have
been
fortunate
to
visit
in
Norway.
Well
worth
the
visit
and
VERY
HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED!
