Hiking
The most striking modern church in Norway is the Tromsø Arctic Cathedral. It was designed by Oslo architect Jan Inge Hovig in 1965 and built at the end of the Tromsø Bridge in the Tromsdalen district. With a 23 meter high glass mosaic window, it has the largest in Europe.

Hiking
The cathedral has an unusual construction. Their sloping roofs reach down to the ground and thus also form the outer wall. They were built from concrete clad in pearl gray, fire-coated aluminum and look like stacked stylized ice sheets.
