Oslo Cathedral

On the southeast side of Oslo's Stortorget is the Cathedral (consecrated 1697). The tower was rebuilt in 1849-50 by Alexis de Châteauneuf, a Hamburg architect, and the interior was renovated in 1948-50 under the direction of Arnstein Arneberg. The main doorway has bronze doors decorated with reliefs (1938). Notable features of the interior are the ceiling paintings (by H. L. Mohr, 1936-50; "God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost"), the Baroque pulpit and altar (ca. 1699), the organ-case (1727) and the stained glass by Emanuel Vigeland (1910-16). In the octagonal Chapel of the Redeemer (built on to the Cathedral in 1949-50) is a sculpture in silver by Arrigo Minerbi, "The Last Supper".
