Oslo Cathedral stands as a testament to Baroque elegance and historical significance in the bustling city it serves. Opened in 1697, this architectural landmark captivates visitors with its distinct brick facade and towering steeple, leading into an interior rich with serene and ornate beauty. Inside, stunning baroque-style murals grace the ceiling, accompanied by intricate woodwork on the pulpit and organ, while colorful stained glass windows bathe the space in a vibrant glow.

The cathedral offers a majestic atmosphere, enhanced by a large altar and an enormous organ that regularly fills the space with powerful music during events. Noteworthy are the mosaic depicting Biblical scenes and the grand chandeliers, one of which, representing the sun, symbolizes hope and enlightenment.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the cathedral's rich history through QR codes strategically placed throughout, or attend musical events ranging from sing-alongs to festive Christmas concerts. With free entrance and a convenient location on Oslo's main street, Oslo Cathedral is more than just a place of worship; it's a central gem where art, history, and community converge.

L'intérieur est propice au recueillement. Nous y étions lors de la répétition de la chorale et les chants sont embellis par les bonnes conditions acoustiques du lieu.

Mooie Dom, beetje donkerder dan de Dom in Gotenborg waar ik gisteren was. Superindrukwekkend is de nagedachtenis aan de slachtoffers van Utoya net voor de kerk.
