Tønsberg Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Tønsberg Municipality, Norway.
The brick cathedral, designed by Christian Heinrich Grosch, stands in the center of Tønsberg with Gothic Revival architectural features and seats 500 people.
The current cathedral, built in 1858, replaced the medieval St. Laurentius Church that served the community from the early 12th century until 1814.
The cathedral contains artifacts from previous churches, including a pulpit from 1621 and bells dating from 1530 and 1685, representing centuries of religious heritage.
The cathedral opens Wednesday through Saturday from 12:00 to 14:00 during summer months, with organ music at noon and Sunday services at 11:00.
The vaulted nave interior takes inspiration from the Oseberg ship discovery of 1904, reflecting maritime influences in its architectural design.
