Tromsø Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Tromsø, Norway
The yellow wooden cathedral, designed in Gothic Revival style by Christian Heinrich Grosch, features a prominent bell tower and cross-shaped layout with side extensions.
The cathedral, completed in 1861, stands on a site where religious buildings have existed since 1250, when King Håkon Håkonsson built the first church.
The interior displays an 1884 altarpiece by Christian Brun, incorporating a reproduction of Adolph Tidemand's 'Resurrection' painting and Per Vigeland's stained glass windows.
The cathedral maintains regular religious services, accommodates 600 people, and provides guided tours for visitors interested in its architectural and historical elements.
This structure holds the distinction of being Norway's sole wooden Protestant cathedral and ranks among the northernmost Lutheran cathedrals globally.
