Hamar Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Hamar, Norway.
Hamar Cathedral is a brick structure with elevated nave architecture and white walls following Romanesque Revival style from 1866. The building holds around 380 seats and is characterized by fabric-like window paintings that gently direct light into the interior.
Construction began in 1864 after Hamar received city status and needed its own sacred space. This building replaced the worship services previously held at Vang Church in Ridabu.
The altar displays Henrik Sørensen's resurrection artwork, while Anthon Røvik's carved pulpit depicts Saint Francis of Assisi. These two artworks shape the interior and communicate religious themes through their detailed craftsmanship.
The space accommodates around 380 people, a manageable size that creates an intimate feeling during a visit. Most original elements were removed in 1950, but the organ, baptismal font, and candlesticks remained in place.
In 1961, Ingrid Bjerkås was ordained here as Norway's first female priest, marking a turning point in the church's leadership structure. This event became a milestone for women's role in the nation's religious institutions.
