The Svalbard Church is the world's northernmost Evangelical Lutheran church and is located in Longyearbyen on the island of Spitsbergen in Norway. It plays a unique role for the community in this remote Arctic region. The first church in Longyearbyen was consecrated in 1921. It was built in just 50 days. Unfortunately, this first church was destroyed during the German attacks on Longyearbyen in World War II (1943). The foundation stone for the current church was laid in 1956, and it was rebuilt and consecrated in 1958. The silver altar candlesticks and baptismal font from the old church were salvaged and reused in the new church. The Svalbard Church is a simple but charming wooden building with a rectangular design. It has a striking red and white facade that blends well with the Arctic landscape. The church seats approximately 140 people. The church is more than just a place of worship; it is a central meeting place for the entire community in Longyearbyen. It serves all Christians on the archipelago, including Catholics, Protestants, and Russian Orthodox Christians. The church is often open around the clock and offers a place of peace, reflection, and social interaction. Not only services are held here, but also concerts, lectures, cozy coffee gatherings, and even weddings. It serves as a kind of living room for Longyearbyen's residents. Due to the extremely cold climate and permafrost, the deceased were transported to the mainland and buried there starting in the 1940s. The small cemetery next to the church is now a historical monument. The Svalbard Church is a fascinating example of how a church in such an extreme and remote environment plays an indispensable role as a spiritual center, cultural meeting place, and symbol of community.

Svalbard - the northernmost brewery in the world! Here the beer is brewed in the middle of ice from glaciers that are more than 2000 years old - on the edge of the North Pole - inspired by the Northern Lights or the midnight sun - that's what I call the purity law. We love it 🍻 It was a long, rocky road before beer could be brewed here, and the law had to be changed twice. Because of the miners, there was an Alkocard on the island so that the workers didn't get drunk. This card was used to record what was drunk. The law from 1928 was only changed in 2014 and beer has been brewed since August 17, 2015. Since 2018, an incredible 500,000 liters of beer have been brewed per year.

Longyearbyen is the administrative center of Svalbard, Norway and is the world's northernmost settlement with over 1,000 residents. Founded in 1906 by American John Munro Longyear as a coal mining town, it has evolved into a hub for Arctic research and tourism. The town experiences extreme polar conditions, including the midnight sun from April to August and polar night from October to February. Its population of approximately 2,400 (depending on the season) is notably diverse, with residents from over 50 countries. Longyearbyen offers various amenities, including a university center, museum, cultural venues, and hotels. Due to the presence of polar bears, carrying firearms outside the settlement is mandatory for safety. The town is also home to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a secure seed bank preserving a wide variety of plant seeds. Longyearbyen's unique blend of history, culture, and extreme environment makes it a distinctive Arctic community and a truly unique place to visit.

Longyearbyen was founded in 1906 as a mining town. Today, mining is limited to pit 7, which is located about 10 km southeast of the town.
