Interior view, looking toward the altar Oslo Cathedral (Norwegian: Oslo domkirke) — formerly Our Savior's Church (Norwegian: Vår Frelsers kirke) — is the main church for the Church of Norway Diocese of Oslo, as well as the parish church for downtown Oslo. The present building dates from 1694 to 1697. The Norwegian royal family and the Norwegian Government use the cathedral for public events. It was closed for renovation in August 2006 and re-opened with a festive high mass on 18 April 2010. The cathedral’s furnishings consist primarily of the altar, the pulpit, the royal gallery, and the organ. The 17th-century pulpit, the altarpiece, and the organ façade with acanthus carvings are all original. The altar depicts the Last Supper and the Crucifixion.
The stained-glass windows are the work of Emanuel Vigeland, the brother of Gustav Vigeland. The artist Hugo Lous Mohr created the ceiling paintings. The bronze doors were designed by the sculptor and painter Dagfin Werenskiold. Quote: Wikipedia
