Tønsberg Cathedral, Tønsberg |
Norway Attractions and Hotels
When
visiting Tønsberg and the surrounding areas, there is one sight that can not be
missed: the Tønsberg Cathedral. Why? This church is an architectural
masterpiece, full of historical and religious value. The cathedral was built on
the ground that once belonged to the St. Lavrans Church. The most impressive
pieces that can be found here are a very old altar piece, dating from the 18th
century and an even older pulpit, from the 17th century. But besides
these, Tønsberg Cathedral is worth visiting simply because this town is a very
important ecclesiastical centre of the country.
