Arctic Cathedral

The Arctic Cathedral is the common name of Tromsdalen Church, a parish church on the mainland side of Tromsø Bridge. Jan Inge Hovig designed it in 1965 as a steep triangular hall of aluminium-clad concrete panels with a glass west front, and in 1972 Victor Sparre added a large glass mosaic to the east wall.
