History
The town of Bodø was established in 1816, but it did not receive its own church for quite some time. The nearby Bodin Church served the town and surrounding area for quite some time before a church was built in the town. Construction on a new church in the town of Bodø began in 1887 and it was consecrated on 6 January 1888. The building was designed by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. It was a yellow, wooden, neo-Gothic long church with a tower on the west end.[3]
The church was destroyed on 27 May 1940 when the whole city center of Bodø was bombed during World War II. In 1946, an architectural competition was held for the design of a new church, which was won by the architects Gudolf Blakstad and Herman Munthe-Kaas. The foundation stone was laid in 1954, and the new church which was consecrated by Bishop Wollert Krohn-Hansen on 14 October 1956. By the time it was completed, it had become the cathedral for the new Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland, which was established in 1952.[4]
