Stavanger Cathedral, Medieval cathedral in Stavanger, Norway

The cathedral stands near the harbor with angular Norman architecture, brick walls, and Gothic elements added after the 1272 fire restoration.

Built in 1125 under Bishop Reinald from Winchester, the cathedral served as the seat of power for the Stavanger diocese until 1682.

The cathedral features a pulpit carved by Andrew Smith in the 1650s and stained glass windows created by Victor Sparre in 1957.

The cathedral undergoes extensive renovation works until 2025, with improvements to interior climate control and accessibility for visitors with reduced mobility.

The structure remains Norway's only medieval cathedral that maintains its original architecture and has operated continuously since the 1300s.
