Northern Lights Cathedral, Alta

What a fantastic piece of architecture. This cathedral is one of the best I have seen, inside and out. Outside can be viewed from all around, and makes a pleasant walk. Inside is just stunning. So much goes into one buildings interior. Have only saw it in the snow, which is brilliant. But a trip to see in in the summer is now a must. Highly recommended anyone a visit.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals I’ve ever seen in Norway. Extremely gorgeous in the winter and well located in the city. We were lucky to hear mass in Norwegian and it was amazing. A very well designed structure and impressive too.

We visited this Cathedral in a dead winter time which was 12 degrees below zero! The church was surrounded by snow made the church looks more peaceful and beautiful! There are also ice sculptures displayed at the ramps into the church! Inside the church also very nice and very Scandinavian! Acoustic sound also amazing! Wish one day to come back to enjoy the sound of the organ music playing here!

We took a tour of the cathedral arranged by our cruise ship. Videos of aurora in the basement and history and construction of the cathedral in the main hall. Titanium is used for the siding as it is maintenance free. The cathedral walls are solid concrete which is not good for sound. So vertical straps are attached to the wall and moveable wooden panels in the ceiling to enable good acoustics for concerts held there.

Fascinating cathedral that goes out of the ordinary. A must visit in Alta. We only got the chance to see the interior of the church thanks to the responsible person arranging for out of hours entrance, thank you for that!
