Nykirken, Stone parish church in Nordnes, Norway
The white cruciform building with 750 seats stands between Strandgaten Road and Vågen Bay, featuring high-sided box pews and painted wooden benches.
The church experienced multiple reconstructions after fires in 1623, 1660, 1756, 1800, and an explosion from a German ship in 1944 during World War II.
Children contribute to the church's decoration through hand-painted icons and art installations, leading to its designation as the Children's Cathedral.
Located at coordinates 60.397069, 5.31337, visitors can explore the church through self-guided walking tours available through mobile applications.
A large carved angel descends from the ceiling using an electric pulley system to present the baptismal bowl during ceremonies.
