A church in Tromsdalen on the eastern bank of Tromsøysund, completed in 1965 and formally named the Tromsdalen Church. The building's facade is formed by eleven triangular concrete panels that evoke both Arctic landscapes and Gothic cathedral forms, and the back wall is filled by one of Europe's largest stained-glass windows. The structure is a key reference point of 20th-century Scandinavian ecclesiastical architecture.
