St Svithun's Church, Catholic church in Stavanger Municipality, Norway
The brick structure of St Svithun's Church features modern architectural elements and provides seating for 300 people in its main gathering space.
Completed in 1983, the church represents the first Catholic place of worship established in Stavanger since the Protestant Reformation changed Norway's religious landscape.
The congregation of St Svithun's Church expanded due to immigration connected to the local oil industry and NATO center, creating a diverse religious community.
Regular religious services take place in the church building, which stands on St. Svithuns gate 8 and operates under the administration of Oslo Diocese.
Architect Thomas Thiis-Evensen incorporated clear functional distinctions in the church design, reflecting his analytical approach to architectural aesthetics.
