The 10 best hotels in Oslo

At first glance, Oslo Cathedral may not impress, and it is one of the least distinctive churches among European capitals. However, the Domkirke has great historical value and is one of the oldest monuments in Oslo.

It was completed in 1697 and most of the building is in the Baroque style.

At first glance, the massive tower with bell tower stands out in proportion to the overall size of the church.
