Tórshavn Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands

Tórshavn Cathedral is a white-painted church with a grey slate roof on Tinganes. A square tower with a clock face, arched windows and a spire topped by a sphere and cross rises on the left; the main gable faces forward, with a smaller gabled section to its right. It stands on a grassy, rocky slope.

Construction began in 1788 under Minister Rasmus Jørgen Winther and replaced an earlier place of worship from 1609 built during King Christian IV's reign. The current building stands as a record of continuous religious presence across multiple centuries on the islands.

The 1647 altarpiece on the north wall of the nave was given by Hans Sevrensen, a former merchant in the Faroes, as its Danish inscription records. It shows the Last Supper after a painting by Peter Candid, measures 100 by 100 cm, and was restored in 1961 by Ernst and Holmer Trier with the local painter Fraser Eysturoy.

The cathedral is centrally located in Tórshavn and easily reached on foot from the town center. The interior is clearly laid out so visitors can see the religious furnishings and architectural details without difficulty.

The bell was acquired in 1708 from the Danish slave ship Norske Löve, which sank in Lambavík on New Year's Eve 1707. It is 30 cm tall with an outer rim diameter of 41.5 cm, decorated with palmettes and inscribed "Danscke Ostindische Compagnies Scheb Nordische Löwe" with the company's crowned monogram.
