Bodø Cathedral is an Evangelical Lutheran Episcopal Church in the province of Nordland. It is the seat of the diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.
The old church was completely destroyed during a German attack on May 27, 1940. In 1946 an architectural competition was held, which was won by architects Gudolf Blakstad and Herman Munthe-Kaas. The cornerstone was laid in 1954 and the church was consecrated in 1956 by Bishop Wollert Krohn-Hansen.
The sculpture in front of the church depicts the psalmist Petter Dass and is by Kristoffer Leirdal. Next to the cathedral is a 36 meter high tower which houses three bells. There is also a memorial to the Norwegian soldiers who died in World War II. It bears the inscription (translated): 'For all those from Bodø who gave their lives for Norway during the war and occupation. Not recorded by name, but not forgotten.”
Concrete was used as the building material for the basilica-like church. 890 people can be seated in the church. Above the altar on the east wall are stained glass by Åge Storsen and Borgar Hauglid.

the church is quite modern, plain and matter-of-fact. During World War II, the previous church, like the entire town, was completely destroyed by Wehrmacht soldiers. What an outrage! The church that is now standing is architecturally well done, in my opinion, and fits in well with the cityscape. I experienced absolute stillness in this place and found it very comfortable.
