Norwegian Church Arts Centre
Review
The Norwegian Church Arts Centre, perched on the waterfront in Cardiff Bay, is one of the city’s most distinctive and cherished landmarks. Originally built in 1868 as a place of worship and rest for Norwegian sailors, this striking white church has transformed into a vibrant arts centre that continues to serve the local Cardiff community. Today, it hosts concerts, exhibitions, and cultural events, attracting locals and tourists alike. The interior retains a sense of serenity, blending heritage with creativity. A highlight of any visit is the Norsk Café, where you can savour top-quality coffee, freshly made street food, and irresistible cakes, all while enjoying panoramic views across Cardiff Bay. This peaceful setting makes it a perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. Whether you're interested in history, the arts, or simply a great café experience, the Norwegian Church Arts Centre is an unmissable stop on any Cardiff itinerary.
