Cardiff
The Norwegian Church was built in 1868 as a meeting place for Norwegian seafarers during the industrial revolution. Established in Cardiff Bay’s West Dock, the church was in a prime position and the congregation grew substantially with up to 90 Norwegian ships berthed in the docks at any one time. The church has since been relocated to its current position overlooking the waterfront of the Bay. The Church has a past steeped with history and remains a cherished landmark and important centre for the Nordic community in South Wales.
Today the church is primarily an arts venue, with performances & exhibitions regularly bringing the space to life. Aside from this, the popular cafe is a great place to stop off for refreshments on your trip to the bay, maybe even one of their famous yorkshire pudding wraps!
