Lonely Planet review

Bodø's striking cathedral, completed in 1956, has a soaring, freestanding tower and spire. Shaped like an inverted ship's hull, the walls of its nave are clad with tufty, multicoloured rugs and there's a fine stained glass window.

The charming little onion-domed Bodin Kirke stone church at Gamle Riksvei 68 dates from around 1240. The Lutheran Reformation brought about substantial changes to the exterior, including the addition of a tower. A host of lively baroque elements - especially the elaborately carved altar - grace the interior.
