Oslo Cathedral, formerly known as the Church of Our Saviour, is the main church of the Diocese of Oslo and the parish church of the city centre. The current building was constructed in 1694-1697 and later rebuilt in the mid-1800s, with a major restoration in 1950 that removed the Neo-Gothic interior and brought back the original decor.
Inside, the cathedral has a ceiling painted by Hugo Lous Mohr, choir stained glass by Emanuel Vigeland, bronze doors by Dagfin Werenskiold and a baroque organ front from the 1990s. The tower holds a 48-bell carillon that plays hourly melodies.
The cathedral stands near Karl Johans gate and has hosted major royal events, including the weddings of King Harald V and Queen Sonja, and of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit.
