Cathedral
CATHEDRAL
This striking, austere structure, completed in 1956, has a soaring, freestanding tower and
spire. Shaped like an inverted ship's hull, the walls of its nave are clad with tufty, multicol-
oured tapestries and there's a fine stained-glass window.
Bodin Kirke
CHURCH
The charming little onion-domed stone church, around 3km from downtown, dates from
around 1240. The Lutheran Reformation brought about substantial changes to the exterior,
including the addition of a tower. A host of lively baroque elements - especially the elab-
orately carved altar - grace the interior.

Here's a fine place to relax, tone, and warm up if it's freezing outside. Exhaust yourself in
its six swimming pools (you can zoom down an 85m waterslide) then unwind in its six
saunas (the one with therapy music and scents, or does eucalyptus vapour tempt?). Soak
yourself to the skin in the tropical rainforest shower or shiver in the ice grotto.
