"Tromsø Cathedral located in Tromsø city, Norway, is the only Norwegian cathedral made of wood. The church is in Gothic revival style, with the church tower and main entrance facing west. Located at 70° N, it is the northernmost Protestant cathedral in the world. With 800 seats, it’s one of Norway’s biggest wooden churches.The Cathedral is the seat of the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland.
The structure was completed in 1861, with Christian Heinrich Grosch as the architect. It was built using a cog joint method. It is situated in the middle of Tromsø on a site where in all likelihood there has been a church since the 13th century."
