TROMSO, NORWAY, 24 MARCH, 2019: Tromso Cathedral #147235418
Description
This cathedral is notable since it is the only Norwegian cathedral made of wood. The yellow, wooden cathedral was built in a long church format and in the Gothic Revival style in 1861. The church tower and main entrance are on the west front. It is probably the northernmost Protestant cathedral in the world. With over 600 seats, it is one of Norway`s biggest wooden churches. It originally held about 984 seats, but many benches and seats have been removed over the years to make room for tables in the back of the church. The structure was completed in 1861 after the diocese was established in 1844. It was built using a cog joint method. It is situated in the middle of the city of Tromso on the island of Tromsoya on a site where in all likelihood there has been a church since the 13th century. Tromso, Norway, Europe
