  • The Norwegian Church in the Cardiff Bay area of the city of Cardiff, Wales, is a historic church building, which was formerly a place of worship for the Norwegian community in Cardiff. In the 19th century, Cardiff was one Britain's three major ports, along with London and Liverpool. The Norwegian merchant fleet at the time was the third largest in the world, and Cardiff became one of the major centres of its operations. Sjømannskirken – the Norwegian Church Abroad organization, which is part of the Church of Norway – followed in its footsteps and established a church in Cardiff Bay in 1868 to serve the religious needs of Norwegian sailors and expatriates. Cardiff-born writer Roald Dahl was baptised in the church. The building is now used as an arts centre, and is known as the Norwegian Church Arts Centre.
  • Den norske kirken i Cardiff i Wales er en historisk kirkebygning, som tidligere var samlingsplass for det norske samfunnet i Cardiff. I det 19. århundret var Cardiff en av de tre viktigste havnene i Storbritannia, ved siden av London og Liverpool. På dette tidspunktet var den norske handelsflåten den tredje største i verden, og Cardiff ble en av de viktigste havnene for flåten. Sjømannskirken, som er en del av Den norske kirke, etablerte derfor en kirke i Cardiff Bay i 1868. Formålet med dette var å dekke det religiøse behovet for norske sjømenn og nordmenn som bodde i Cardiff. Roald Dahl, en britisk forfatter med norske foreldre, ble døpt i kirken. I dag er kirken brukt som et kunstsenter, og heter «The Norwegian Church Arts Center».
