 | Oslo Oslo Domkirke (Church) Reviews | 1 - 10 of 21 |  |
Walking a short ways up Karl Johans Gate from the train station you will find The Domkirche. The Oslo Domkirche dates to the 17th century and is beautiful and unusual on the inside. Although smaller and less dramatic than some of more famous Dom's in Europe, the cathedral still holds your attention as you walk into the square known as Stortinget. Although once one of the main square in Oslo this square has become a little negelected and does not command the attention of some of Oslo's other squares. However I found it very easy to sit here for a few moments and picture life as it was when the Dom was built. Leave a Comment

The baroque cathedral of Oslo (Domkirke) was consecrated in 1697 and renovated in the mid of the 19th century. The area around the cathedral with its inner courtyard is a nice place for a rest in teh busy city centre.

This is Olso's Second oldest Church dating from 1697 and contains elaborate stained glass from Emanual Vineland ( the famous Gustav's brother). The church is closed for renovation for the rest of the year but will reopen in 2007. Leave a Comment

Oslo Cathedral or Saviour Lutheran Church is very small comparing with most other European cathedrals (especially with those in Capitals) but it also nice building. It was built in 1697 but ceiling decorations are of more recent date... from 1936?50. I spent inside almost an hour, sitting, relaxing and enjoying in harmony and peace of that holly place.

The cathedral buidling was completed in 1699, when the bronze door was added. It has a nice exterior & a surprisingly nice interior.
Cermonies held in it include the royal family & the government, so His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon was married to Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby on Aug 25th 2001 in that church! During the next couple of days thousands of people came to see the phenomenal flower arrangements made specially for the wedding.
The church is open for visitors from 10 to 16, so don't miss the chance! Besides the masses, concerts are held - the Oslo cathedral choir is very well-known! Leave a Comment

The altar shovel of the Domkirke was made by Michael Rash in the 1748. It rappresents the Last Dinner and the Crocifixion. In the years ago it was moved into different Norwegian's churches but in 1950 it comes back to Oslo. The nice organ was made in the 17th century. Leave a Comment

The Cathedral of Oslo was built in the 1697 and it was restored in the middle of 1800s. It has got nice windows made by Emanuel Vigeland (the brother of Gustav Vigeland). Very nice is the painting roof made between 1936 and 1950. Leave a Comment

Oslo's Domkirke is located near the pedestrian Karls Johans Gate and it's an impressive church/cathedral. It's even more impressive as, unlike when visiting other cities, you'll come across very few churches in Oslo.
The church was consacrated, although major restoration works took place both in the 19th and 20th century. it's a beautiful building whose full grace I could not completely enjoy, as parts of the building were undergoing new restorations and were wrapped in scaffolding and plastic.
This cathedral saw the celebration of many Royal events like the marriage of King Harald and Queen Sonja as well as (and more recently) the one of Prince Haakon Magus and Mette-Marit. Admission to the church is free. Leave a Comment Directions: Nearest metro station: Jernbanetorget (main train station)

Impossible to miss, as it is right in the city centre. This is actually the third cathedral in place, after the first one fell into disrepair and the second one was burnt down. The clocktower is particularly attractive, even on an overcast winter day. Leave a Comment
