Norwegian Church Arts Centre
Eglwys Norwyaidd
A small white wooden church that once served Norwegian sailors. Author Roald Dahl was baptised here, and today it is a café and arts space.
Built in 1868 for Norwegian sailors arriving at Cardiff docks, the church has white clapboard walls that resemble a Nordic fishing-village church. The family of children's author Roald Dahl once worshipped here. It was dismantled in 1987 and rebuilt on the waterfront of Cardiff Bay. It now serves as an arts centre and café, with free entry and frequent small exhibitions. From Mermaid Quay, it is about a five-minute walk along the waterfront, with excellent views across the bay.
