    The fantastic Cathedral of Stavanger was built in 1125 and was restored in 1272 after a great fire. The church was built with a Gothic architecture. The Cathedral, like the Winchester Cathedral in England is dedicated to St.Swithun and the first bishop was a Benedictine monk named Bishop Reginald from Winchester. The Cathedral was dedicated to that saint after the 9th century when the bishop from Winchester was canonized. The next bishop in Stavanger was bishop John Birgersson who later became Norway's first archbishop.

    This city has a very nice Dom church. It is one of the few stone churches made in that period. Most churches were made of wood (stavkirken)

    On the picture you can see the interior. Big white colums and the wood works are easy on the eyes.
    In the back of the church behind the altar is a very nice looking glasstained windeow

    • Its worth standing or sitting outside the cathedral when the bells are ringing. The sound is unusual, haunting and very attractive.

    The cathedral is placed right in the center of the town, between the main harbor and Breiavatnet .
    The Norway's oldest cathedral was built around 1125 and dedicated to St. Swithun. It is the only Norwegian cathedral from the Middle Ages that has retained its original appearance and been in constant use.
