St. Olav's Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Hammersborg, Norway.

The cathedral exhibits Gothic Revival architecture with pointed arches, constructed entirely from brick material according to designs by Heinrich Ernst Schirmer and Wilhelm von Hanno.

Established in 1852, the cathedral received its consecration in 1896 due to the absence of a Roman Catholic bishop in Norway at that time.

The cathedral conducts religious services in multiple languages, including Norwegian, English, and Polish, serving a diverse international congregation in Oslo.

Located near Our Saviour's Cemetery, the cathedral maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors throughout the week for prayer and meditation.

The cathedral houses a special showcase containing what is believed to be a bone fragment from St. Olav's arm, displayed since the 1860s.
