Hamar Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Hamar, Norway.
The brick cathedral features elevated nave architecture with fabric-like window paintings and white walls, following Romanesque Revival design principles established in 1866.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1864 after Hamar received city status, replacing worship services previously held at Vang Church in Ridabu.
The cathedral houses Henrik Sørensen's altar depicting the resurrection of Jesus Christ, complemented by Anthon Røvik's carved pulpit showing Francis of Assisi.
The cathedral building accommodates 380 people and underwent substantial interior renovations in 1950, retaining only the organ loft support, baptismal font, and candlesticks.
In 1961, Ingrid Bjerkås became Norway's first female priest through ordination at this cathedral, marking a significant change in religious leadership.
