Bodø Cathedral
Bodø domkirke
A modernist cathedral rebuilt after World War II, featuring a freestanding bell tower and enormous stained-glass windows.
In May 1940, German bombing almost completely destroyed central Bodø. The cathedral was completed in 1956 and symbolizes the postwar reconstruction. The building has a clean modernist style. Its freestanding bell tower stands about 36 m tall, and the interior features huge stained-glass windows and tapestries. A sculpture at the entrance commemorates the victims of World War II. It is located in the city center next to the Nordland Museum, admission is free, and it stays open for longer hours in summer.
Opening hours
Summer approx. 10:00–15:00; at other times mainly for worship
