Tromsø domkirke
The Tromsø domkirke ( German Dom zu Tromsø ) is the Evangelical Lutheran episcopal church of the diocese of Nord-Hålogaland in Tromsø in northern Norway in the province of Troms og Finnmark .
history
The style of the church is based on the Gothic (see also: Neo-Gothic ) and is the only Norwegian cathedral that is made of wood. It is one of the northernmost cathedrals in the world and with its 800 seats is one of the largest Norwegian wooden churches.
The city's first church was the Royal Chapel, built under Håkon IV (1204–1263). It belonged to the king and not to the Catholic Church.
The cathedral was built under Christian Heinrich Grosch and completed in 1861. The church is located in the city center of Tromsø, but is surrounded by a partly medieval cemetery.
Furnishing
The interior of the church is dominated by the altar, whose image is a copy of the “ Resurrection ”. The original painting is in the Bragernes church in Drammen municipality . The oldest piece of furniture is a Madonna, probably from the 15th century.
The organ was built in the years 1860–1863 by the organ builder Claus Jensen. The instrument has 23 registers on two manuals and a pedal . In 2014 the instrument was restored by the organ builder Br. Torkildsen (Norway).
