The Cathedral of the Northern Lights,located in the municipality of Alta, just north of the polar circle, is inspired by the town's clear presence as a northern lights observation point. The stunning silver building stands tall in jarring contrast to the otherwise open landscape. The aisle, the primary seating space, is at the center of the establishment, with a contemplative serenity that contrasts with the energetic architectural style that the building is known for.
