The Tromsdalen Church (''Tromsdalen Kirke''), which is more commonly known as '''The Arctic Cathedral''' (''Ishavskatedralen''), is a Church in Tromsø , Norway , built in 1965 . The church is a parish church and not, strictly speaking, a Cathedral . The church was drawn by Jan Inge Hovig , and its building materials consist mainly of Concrete . Because of the church's distinct look and situation, it has often been called "the Opera House of Norway", likening it to the famous Sydney Opera House in Sydney , Australia . The church is probably the most famous landmark in Tromsø, although Tromsø does have another church of interest, the Tromsø Cathedral , which is noted for being the only wooden Cathedral in Norway.
