Abstract
The purpose of the local research is to study historical situations and the social context which allows us to reveal the features of the historical development of the Norwegian Church and stone architecture in the 11th – 12th centuries. Church architecture in Norway developed under the influence of the Christian religion. Churches and cathedrals built at the request of the Norwegian kings strengthened the prestige of the monarch, singled out dioceses and indicated the triumph of a new religion in the country. In the second half of the 12th century the originality and uniqueness of the cathedrals erected by church order indicates the active position of the archbishops in relation to architecture.
