In the maritime environment at Isegran, a 120 m2 building has grown up on a traditional barge made of roots.
The cathedral is a cross between modern art and world heritage. The Reisverket is inspired by the stave churches, while the ceiling is a magnificent plastic painting, made of plastic picked up from our beaches. The initiators behind Håpet's Cathedral and many volunteers have collected over 1,000 fish boxes from the coast in Norway and Sweden. These are then melted into colorful roof tiles.
Over 12,000 hours of work have been required to build the cathedral. Perhaps you can feel the love that has been put into this project when you walk into the sacred space?
The Cathedral of Hope is about turning bad things into good and showing that hope is created when we work together. It is open to everyone, and a meeting place between people across age, nationality and faith. The sea binds us humans together. This cathedral will also do that. It is free to visit the cathedral.
The cathedral can also be rented out for weddings, concerts, tours, etc.
