Stavanger Cathedral 
By R. Tveteraas 
Stavanger is a very old city. It is mentioned as early as the begin¬ 
ning of the twelfth century, and about the year 1128 it became an 
episcopal see. Up to that time Norway had only three bishoprics, 
and when a fourth was formed for the southwestern part of the coun¬ 
try, Stavanger was chosen for the episcopal residence.
