Oslo Cathedral is a cruciform church where the east-west-going vessel forms the main nave, with altar in the eastern part and pipe organ in the west. The altarpiece and the pulpit was put in place shortly after the inauguration in 1697, but the Great Northern War (1709-1720) put a halt to further work on the interior. In the 1720s the first pipe organ was installed in the church, built by Lambert Daniel Karsten, as well as galleries and alcoves along the walls. The tower bell, which was installed in 1718, is the oldest working church bell in the country.
