Bergen New Church

St. Mary's Church in Bergen is a long church in the form of a basilica. Inside, strong square pillars support the vaults and mark the transition between the nave and the aisles. The choir is lower and narrower than the nave. The church has two towers that rise above the western end of the aisles. The church was built in the classical Romanesque style in the first half of the 12th century, but there are also later additions in the Gothic style. The magnificent altarpiece was probably made in Lübeck in the late 15th century.

The Church of the Cross is a medieval stone church originally consisting of a nave with a choir, built around 1150. The sacristy was probably built in the High or Low Middle Ages, and in the 18th and 19th centuries the church was extensively rebuilt, so that the church today has a cruciform shape. In 1896, the sacristy was decorated as a chapel, and much of the present church interior dates from the same period. The interior is particularly marked by the renovation of 1896-97.

The church was built in 1894 in a neo-gothic style according to the plans of the architect Herman M Backer. The tower of Johanneskirken is visible everywhere near the centre. The church has the highest tower in Bergen, at 61 meters.
