Bergen Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Bergen, Norway
Built with dimension stone, this Gothic cathedral features a long nave measuring 20 by 13 meters with stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes.
The cathedral's foundation dates to 1150 when the first stone church was constructed, dedicated to Saint Olav, Norway's patron saint.
Bergen Cathedral serves as the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Bjørgvin and functions as a central location for religious ceremonies in western Norway.
The cathedral accommodates 900 people and maintains regular opening hours for visitors who want to explore its architectural features and historical elements.
A cannonball from the 1665 naval battle in Bergen remains embedded in the cathedral's western wall as a testament to historical conflicts.
