Oslo Cathedral, the principal church of the Church of Norway in Oslo, was consecrated in 1697. Its Baroque interior features ornate woodcarvings, a magnificent altarpiece, and a ceiling painting by Hugo Lous Mohr. The cathedral hosts royal events, including weddings and funerals of the royal family. Visitors can admire the intricate pulpit, the beautifully restored organ, and the serene atmosphere in the heart of the city. The adjacent square is a lively meeting point.
