About
Bodø Cathedral (also known as Bodø Domkirke) stands in the centre of Bodø, the city in Nordland county in northern Norway. It is found at Torvgata 12, 8006 Bodø, and is one of the city's best-known landmarks.
About the building
The cathedral is a modern church, completed in 1956. It was built after the original church was destroyed during the Second World War, so visiting it is also a way of seeing how the city rebuilt itself in the decades that followed. Its architecture is distinctive, and it stands out clearly against the Bodø skyline.
What a visit offers
- A look at postwar church architecture in a northern Norwegian setting.
- An easy stop for anyone walking through the town centre.
- A useful reference point for orienting yourself around Bodø.
Because the cathedral is a working place of worship as well as a landmark, it is worth being quiet and respectful when you go inside. If you want to confirm details before your trip, the church can be reached by phone at +47 75 50 12 17.
