I have spent a couple of weeks in this hotel and was really peaceful and relaxing, all the waiters were really kind and also the hotel restaurant has really good food.

Fin atmosfär men tyvärr alldeles för dålig service. Personalen gör så gott de kan men är troligen för underbemannade.

Spännande övernattning, härlig miljö och suverän mat. Kan verkligen rekommenderas.

Riktigt bra på nästan alla sätt och vis. En slottsweekend som verkligen rekommenderas. Afternoon tea, bastu/jacuzzi, fukostbuffén: mycket bra. Fantastiskt utbud på afternoon tea... 4-rätters middag var bra, men huvudrätten (hjort med ugnsbakad potatis) var en besvikelse. Fint kött men smaklösa tillbehör. Middagen lyftes dock av övriga rätter och ostar från buffé. Servicen kan bli klart bättre. Rummet var fint, men inte i toppskick. Mycket fina omgivningar! Promenad rekommenderas, men en löprunda innan frukosten rekommenderas ännu mer!

Stavanger Cathedral

Stavanger Cathedral is Norway's oldest cathedral. Bishop Reinald, who may have come from Winchester, is said to have started construction of the Cathedral around 1100. It was finished around 1150, and the city of Stavanger counts 1125 as its year of foundation. The Cathedral was consecrated to Swithin as its patron saint. Saint Swithun was an early Bishop of Winchester and subsequently patron saint of Winchester Cathedral. Stavanger was ravaged by fire in 1272, and the Cathedral suffered heavy damage. It was rebuilt under bishop Arne, and the Romanesque Cathedral was enlarged in the Gothic style.

In 1682, king Christian V decided to move Stavanger's episcopal seat to Kristiansand. However, on Stavanger's 800th anniversary in 1925, king Haakon VII instated Jacob Christian Petersen as Stavanger's first bishop in nearly 250 years.During a renovation in the 1860s, the Cathedral's exterior and interior was considerably altered. The stone walls were plastered, and the Cathedral lost much of its medieval looks. A major restoration led by Gerhard Fischer in 1939-1964 partly reversed those changes. The latest major restoration of the Cathedral was conducted in 1999. Andrew Lawrenceson Smith is famous for his works here.
