点评:This was definitely worth the entrance fee (about $10 USD - church only)! A true highlight for me and one that I've told many people about (for me, far surpasses the Tromso Arctic Cathedral experience). It is located sort of behind the Visitor Info center (across the street from the bus station). Note that there are two types of entry fees (clearly explained on large signs outside and inside the church): entry to the church only which is about $10 USD and entry to the church and a 10 minute film in the lower level of the northern lights around the church. You get a very description handout of the church design and interior with both fees. I only went into the church and afterward wished I had spent the additional $7 USD for the film, in order to see the full effect.
The exterior design grabs you and draws you in, wondering what that design represents? Why does it look so different from other churches? Turns out that it was designed to reflect, literally and metaphorically, the northern lights. The exterior is clad in titanium panels which have a soft sheen that glowed even on a grey day. I thought the interior was spectacular; the narrow, vertical window slits and vertical lighting provided light and drew the eye up; the altar piece and furnishings told a story using contemporary yet relatable design; the entry area (through the bell tower "cave" with a golden Jacob's ladder extending into the heavens was unique; and even the color of the wood floor and chairs was carefully chosen.
Spectacular. I would go to this church just for the peace. I can’t imagine it during the northern lights when the titanium exterior reflects the lights.
翻译:这绝对值回票价(大约10美元——仅教堂)!对我来说,这里是真正的亮点,我已经告诉过很多人了(对我来说,这远胜于特罗姆瑟北极大教堂的体验)。它位于游客信息中心的后面(公交车站对面)。请注意,门票有两种(教堂内外的大型标牌上都有清晰的说明):仅进入教堂,大约10美元;以及进入教堂并在教堂底层观看10分钟的北极光电影。除了这两种费用外,你还会得到一份关于教堂设计和内部的详细说明。我只进去了教堂,之后就后悔当初多花7美元看电影,这样才能看到完整的效果。
教堂的外观设计深深吸引着你,让你不禁好奇这种设计代表着什么?为什么它看起来与其他教堂如此不同?原来,它的设计是为了反映北极光,无论是字面意义上还是隐喻意义上。教堂外墙覆有钛金属面板,即使在阴天也能散发柔和的光泽。我认为教堂内部美不胜收;狭窄的垂直窗缝和垂直照明带来明亮光线,吸引人们向上看;祭坛和家具以现代而又贴切的设计讲述了一个故事;入口区域(穿过钟楼的“洞穴”,金色的雅各布天梯延伸至天堂)独具特色;甚至连木地板和椅子的颜色都经过精心挑选。
太壮观了。我会为了宁静而去这座教堂。我无法想象在北极光下,钛金属外墙反射着光芒时会是什么样子。
