Pilgrim stamp
The Pilgrim stamp is located in the mailbox by the Kampen fellowship hall behind the church. The fellowship hall is at 55 Normannsgata and is an old white wooden building behind Kampen Church and next to Kampen School. The postbox is situated just around the corner from the main entrance and is clearly visible from the street.
History
Kampen church is a three-aisled nave church from 1882. It is built in unplastered red brick and kept in a simple Gothic Revival style. A major fire in the quarter between Bøgata and Normannsgata made the choice of where to build the church easier and construction began in 1879. It was designed by architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan.
The altarpiece from 1884 shows women at the tomb on Easter morning, and was produced by Axel Ender.
