This beautiful cathedral is 900 years old and is the oldest cathedral in Norway. It is worth the small entry fee of around £5 to see the wonderful interior. The style is Romanesque/gothic. The first organ was installed in 1622, then in 1992 a classical organ by the Reil brothers was installed requiring modifications to the roof structure. I did hear the organ as they were doing some rehearsals and it sounded amazing, hopefully I can go back when they have a service. I would highly recommend a visit.

Stunning church rich in history. Newly restoration and preservation work done respectfully and has made this into and even more impressive experience. I can highly recommend a visit inside for a view.

Stavanger Cathedral, also known as Stavanger domkirke, is a historic and architecturally significant church located in the city of Stavanger, Norway. It is the oldest cathedral in Norway that has been in continuous use since its construction. The cathedral was built between 1100 and 1150, during the reign of King Sigurd Jorsalfarer (Sigurd the Crusader). It is dedicated to Saint Swithun, an Anglo-Saxon bishop of Winchester. The cathedral originally featured a Romanesque style, characterized by thick walls, small windows, and rounded arches. However, after a fire in 1272, it was rebuilt with Gothic elements, including pointed arches and larger windows. Stavanger Cathedral stands as a testament to Norway's rich religious and architectural heritage, offering a glimpse into the country's medieval past.
