About Kirkelandet Kirke
Designed by the architect Odd Østby on the theme "Rock Crystals In Roses " and consecrated in 1964, this is perhaps Norway's most daring church building. When light flows through the 320 color glass windows in all shades of red and yellow, the 30-meter high chancel wall is transformed into a symphony of colors.Address : Konsul Johnsens gate 29, 6508 Kristiansund, Norway
