Cattedrale di Oslo, Karl Johans gate, Oslo, Norvegia

Oslo Cathedral, known locally as Oslo Domkirke, stands at the eastern end of Karl Johans gate, the city's main pedestrian boulevard. Built in 1697 and repeatedly restored, it serves as the principal church of the Church of Norway and the setting for royal and national ceremonies. Its baroque interior features a richly painted ceiling, elaborate altar, and stained-glass windows by Emanuel Vigeland. The surrounding area on Karl Johans gate connects the cathedral to the Royal Palace at the opposite end, passing the Storting parliament building and grand 19th-century facades.
