Bragernes chruch


Bragernes Church lies in the heart of the city of Drammen. It is the most familiar and dramatic local landmark. It is sited just above the main square, and is in neo-Gothic style, with a tapering red brick tower and high copper spire. The altarpiece was completed in the same year that the church was consecrated, 1877. It is by Adolph Tidemann and depicts The Resurrection. The church holds regular services and is also the venue for concerts. It has thirty five bells which ring out tunes across the town.
