The Oslo Cathedral was built in 1697 and consists of a chapel and a tower. The interior decoration was not completed until around 1720, and was renovated in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Oslo Cathedral, which is now presented to the world, has no complicated carvings and decorations, but is simple and atmospheric. The Dutch-style red brick walls add a bit of warmth to the perennially cold Norway. The bronze door of the church cast in 1938 was designed and completed by the Norwegian sculptor Dagfin Werenskiold. The carving depicts the scene of Jesus preaching and preaching. It is surrounded by flowers and birds and beasts. It is a valuable cultural relic and should not be missed. The stained glass in the church was carefully designed by Emmanuel Vigeland, the younger brother of the sculptor Gustave Vigeland. It is beautiful and worth savoring. In addition, the large pipe organ in the church is composed of 6,000 log pipes, and the sound is ethereal and holy when played. There is also a row of Basarhallene antique shops, gift shops, cafes and restaurants built between 1841 and 1858 next to the church. After visiting Oslo Cathedral, you may wish to take a good stroll.
