Came across this monument by chance, half covered in snow, to the Jewish people of Tromso murdered in WW2. Of over 500 people from North Norway who were deported to Poland and Auschwitz in November 1942, 17 came from Tromso, 16 were killed in 1942 and one in 1945. Their names are listed here. To just stand and remember them, and the viciousness and cruelty against those whose only crime was their faith.

The cathedral in town is not hard to find at all. It’s not grand in the way you might expect but it’s still worth a look. It’s free to enter and there’s information about it’s organs, church bell etc inside which is very pretty. We didn’t know there was a daily concert so we decided to pay and stay for it and it was really lovely - there was a lot of talent on display from three performers. It was something a little different and 30 minutes very well spent.

Reviewed By Coldings - Copenhagen, Denmark
The Tromsø Cathedral is the natural center of the small, cosy town of Tromsø and the architecture and design of the small square where the church is located are a pleasure to see from the outside. However, if you have the chance, you should participate in the Sunday worship to appreciate the beautiful interior, the harmonious pace and rituals of the Norwegian mass, the pleasant church hymns and the kind church staff and local community present.
