The Church of Our Saviour is a long church with a cruciform structure dating from 1901 in the municipality of Haugesund in the county of Rogaland.

"The Rising Tide" refers to Jason deCaires Taylor's tidal art installation located in Kvalsvik, near Haugesund, featuring four hybrid horses and oil pumps that change with the tide. The sculptures symbolize humanity's dependence on fossil fuels and the potential consequences of climate change, with the rising water level serving as an allegory for rising sea levels. The sculptures are designed to be partially submerged at high tide, creating a dynamic and changing display that visually represents the rising water level. Originally, "The Rising Tide" installation was located in the River Thames in London. At the initiative of a local diving club, the sculptures were brought to Haugesund, Norway, in 2019. The move was intended as a temporary location, but the installation remained in Kvalsvik.

Our Savior's Church was designed by the Haugesund architect E. Halleland and consecrated on March 6, 1901. The tower of the neo-Gothic brick church rises approximately 53 meters high. The church seats 1,030 people.

Marilyn Monroe is connected to Haugesund through a myth about her father, Martin Mortensen, who was born there, as well as through a statue of the film star on the quayside. A bronze sculpture of Marilyn Monroe, unveiled in 1994, stands on Indre Quay near the Quality Hotel Maritim and symbolizes the city's connection to film. The myth that Marilyn Monroe's father, Martin Edward Mortensen, was from Haugesund has long existed. He emigrated to the United States in 1922. However, DNA evidence from 2022 suggests that her biological father was a colleague of her mother and had no Norwegian roots. Although the truth about her father is disputed, the statue and its name have become a symbol of Haugesund as a film city.
