Nidaros Cathedral in Mourning
It is with profound sadness that we have learned of the passing of King Harald V. Out of respect for the deceased King, changes will be made to the programme at Nidaros Cathedral. Scheduled concerts and guided tours will be cancelled or postponed.
Until the day of the funeral in Oslo, Nidaros Cathedral will be open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for those who wish to light a candle and sign the book of condolences. Arrangements will also be made for visitors to light candles and lay flowers at the West Front Square in front of the Cathedral.
The daily church services will reflect the passing of King Harald, with prayers and hymns, Bible readings and music specially chosen for this time of mourning. A service of mourning will also be held. The time will be announced later.
