Hamar Cathedral is the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Hamar, part of the Lutheran Church of Norway.
The church was erected as a result of Hamar achieving city status in 1849 and re-emerging as an independent diocese two years later. Noting the rapid growth of the population and the need for a diocese to cover areas of eastern Norway, the Church of Norway established the seat of the newly formed diocese of Norway in Hamar in 1864. The architect of the cathedral was Heinrich Ernst Schirmer; the local general contractor was Herman Frang. The cathedral was consecrated for services on 15 December 1866. The exterior was built in simple, nearly austere German Romanesque style and is largely unchanged since its construction.
