Why Stavanger Cathedral matters
Stavanger Cathedral has stood in the centre of town since the Middle Ages. Its Romanesque nave and Gothic additions give it a solid, calm presence next to a small park and pond. Inside you can see a richly carved pulpit and an organ. It is a quick stop, easy to combine with a walk through the old town.
Talking points
- The building mixes Romanesque and Gothic styles.
- A park and pond lie right next to it.
- The old town is a short walk away.
