The history of Bergen Cathedral dates back to 1181 and still maintains its dedication to St. Olaf. The church can accommodate 1,000 people. During Hakan IV's reign, the Franciscan monastery, called Olavskirken, was built near the church, the Church of St. Olaf. It was rebuilt in 1248 and 1240 after two fires. In 1463, after the third burn, it was not rebuilt until the 1550s. After the fires of 1623 and 1640, the Bergen Cathedral was finally presented to visitors in its present appearance. The spire above the nave was removed and replaced by a tower. In the 1880s, under the auspices of architects Christian Christie and Peter Andreas Blix, the interior decoration of the Rococo style was changed back to the original medieval style. The exterior walls of the church are decorated with shells used in the 1665 Anglo-Dutch War Vågen. The first organ of Bergen Cathedral was installed in 1549, and the organ is now made in 1997 by Rieger Orgelbau, making it the fifth organ in the history of the church. Today, the church is also used for daily concerts.
