"Tromso Domkirke" Top 5 Page for this destination Tromsø Things to Do Tip by angiebabe

Tromso Domkirke, the 1861 Cathedral of Tromso is one of Norway's largest wooden churches.

I thought it was rather beautiful and glad that the sun came out and was shining on it and around it after getting off at the harbour in the shadow of nearby buildings and hurrying up towards the town centre to see the wooden period buildings that i had read abounded around the old city centre.

It was sadly locked though so i could only make the most of seeing it from the outside - in contrast to the beauty of the main building itself it had quite an ugly door with padlock keeping it locked!

So i managed to get quite a number of photos of this lovely wooden church covered in rather striking patterns and designs - in between also the brief snow and sleet falls!

This changeable weather and early sunsets and therefore short days is all part of being up in the Arctic - some very beautiful scenes but the daylight hours esp for photo taking are all too short...!

Address: Storgata Street
Directions: a long street with quite a number of interesting wooden period buildings and also modernist contemporary buildings!
