Geocache Description:



Ishavskatedralen


Tromsdalen kirke, også kalt Ishavskatedralen, ble innviet den 19. november 1965. Arkitekten, Jan Inge Hovig, lyktes med å skape et mesterverk. Kirken er et seilingsmerke som kan sees både fra Tromsøysundet, fra brua og under landing med fly. De 11 aluminiumsbelagte betongplatene på hver side av taket gir katedralen sin form. Hovedinngangen i vestveggen omgis av en stor glassfasade med et markant kors. Østveggens fantastiske glassmosaikk kom først i 1972. Kunstneren Victor Sparre skapte med sin glasskunst et av sine viktigste verk.

Tromsdalen Church, also known as Ishavskatedralen (The Arctic Cathedral) was dedicated on November 19, 1965. Architect Jan Inge Hovig succeeded in creating a masterpiece. The cathedral is a landmark visible from the Tromsø Sound, the Tromsø Bridge and when landing in Tromsø by aircraft. The 11 aluminium-coated concrete panels on each side of the roof provide the cathedral’s form. The main entrance on the western side is surrounded by a large glass façade with a pronounced cross. The fantastic glass mosaic on the eastern side was added in 1972.
The glass mosaic is one of artist Victor Sparre’s most prominent works.

The cache contains log and pencil.
