The most striking modern church in Norway is the Tromsø Arctic Cathedral. It was designed by Oslo architect Jan Inge Hovig in 1965 and built at the end of the Tromsø Bridge in the Tromsdalen district. With a 23 meter high glass mosaic window, it has the largest in Europe.

The Arctic Cathedral is one of the most impressive buildings in the city of Tromsø.

The Evangelical Lutheran Seamen's and Parish Church faces the mainland. The building dates from 1965.

The most famous landmark of the city was consecrated in 1965. The triangular silhouette is reminiscent of the characteristic in the north of dry fish racks.
