Gorgeous church both inside and outside. There is a ship hanging which was quite unusual for me. The stained glass windows were exquisite. The murals upfront are beautiful and unique. It costs 50nok to get in. I wasn't too happy about paying to get into a place of worship and I hope the money goes towards upkeep of the church

Stunning church up a hill in Alesund. Unusually it has a model ship hanging from the ceiling in the middle which apparently is common in Norwegian coastal towns. Insane fresco at the front. Costs £5 each to go in and worth it if you're going to 'read' the church a bit. Not to just go in and go ooh. Loved the severity of it.

Beautiful and serene place cathedral off the beaten path.

Beautiful church but closed due to reconstruction

Only had a Quick Look at it from the outside. But it was nice. Good stone architecture

Amazing experience as always. The church is really beautiful

Be prepared to see the unexpected, as you enter the main church from the vestry. Beautiful stained glass windows on either side lighting the building. A model ship hanging in the aisle, a common feature in Norways' coastal churches where fishing is the main occupation. Then the masterpiece at the alter. There is so much to see in this, worth picking up the info sheet. 10 years of work by the artist. The organ was built in 1945 renovated in 2009, and has 96 voices and near 8000 pipes.
