Architecture
[edit]The Stavanger Cathedral basilica has three aisles with diaphragm arches and an elevated central nave of Romanesque design.[1][2] At one end of the nave is a square chancel surrounding the altar. The central nave is an arcade with round pillars along its length. The capitals on the pillars contains many figures depicting scenes of Ragnarok (Scandinavian ‘End of Days’). Further masonry decorations include palmettes and arcatures on cornices.[1]
The east exterior of the building has two towers that contain lancet windows. There are a variety of sculptures between the towers and central building.[1]
Around the year 1660, the parapet of the gallery was decorated with motifs copied from the Cor Iesu Amanti Sacrum series[3], otherwise known as Emblems from the Heart[4]. Of the original six motifs, three are on display in Stavanger Museum.[3]
