During the restoration in 1866, a monastic vestment was found in the attic. It is decorated with a picture that probably shows Saint Svithun.
There is a carillon above the entrance. It has been hanging there since 1925 and initially consisted of 22 bells. With the addition of 27 bells in 1997, it now consists of 49 bells.
The Gothic baptismal font dates from between 1250 and 1300.
Around 1000 skeletons were found in the crypt, which indicates that another church stood on this spot before the current cathedral.
