Norwegian Wood

This beautiful church is now a cafe/art centre celebrating Norwegian culture. It's in Cardiff Bay and was where Roald Dahl was christened when it still functioned as a church. It used to be a vital meeting place for Scandinavian sea-farers many years ago. It's been beautifully restored by Norwegian carpenters. Oh and the coffee's great 9/10, cupcakes delicious 8/10, decor 10/10 and staff 9/10.

It looks delightful and would be a gorgeous place to spend a morning. I like that you have people in the picture ... somehow brings the inanimate 'alive'.

Never heard of this place before. What a great place to visit especially as the cupcakes are so good. Nice shot

[Dorrena Ortega]

Beautiful architecture. I really appreciate the fine craftsman work that we just don't see anymore. It's good this was preserved.

like this one, sounds typical norwegian. Looking forward to reading Roald Dahl to the Dude!

[Richard Tyson]
