Gamle Stavanger is a historic area of the city of Stavanger in Rogaland, Norway. The area consists largely of restored wooden buildings which were built in the 18th century and at the beginning of the 19th century.In the aftermath of World War II, a new city plan was created for Stavanger. It included razing most of the old wooden buildings in the city centre and replacing them with new modern structures in concrete. One single voice spoke up against this plan, and today it is recognized that Gamle Stavanger owes its existence to Einar Hedén (1916-2001), then City Architect of Stavanger. In 1956 the city council voted to conserve part of the old city centre.The area selected for conservation was the one considered the least desirable, consisting of small rundown wooden buildings located on the western side of Vågen, the inner harbor area of Stavanger. This area has a selection of preserved wood houses dating from both the 19th and 20th century. Some of the houses are owned by the municipality, but most are privately owned. Over the years the area has changed from seedy to trendy, and today is considered a choice location for the urban-minded with a sense of history. Gamle Stavanger has grown such that it now covers more than 250 buildings most of which are small, white wooden cottages. The area also includes the Norwegian Canning Museum which displays a typical factory from the 1920s.The Municipality of Stavanger has received several awards for the preservation of Gamle Stavanger. During the Council of Europe's 1975 European Architectural Year, Gamle Stavanger, together with the historic fishing village of Nusfjord in Nordland and the former mining town of Røros in Sør-Trøndelag, were identified as examples of how conservation of old buildings may well coincide with use, and how rehabilitation can be done without loss of character.

St Svithun's Church (or St Swithun's Church, Norwegian: Sankt Svithun kirke) is the parish church of the Roman Catholic Church in Stavanger, Norway. The church is dedicated to St Swithun of Winchester. St Swithun is the Patron saint of Stavanger, and the Stavanger Cathedral of the Church of Norway, built in 1125, was dedicated to St. Svithun, centuries before the Protestant Reformation. The first Catholic church in Stavanger after the Reformation was consecrated in 1898. The current postmodern church was designed by architect Thomas Thiis-Evensen, and built in 1983. The congregation moved to the larger, current church. The church has increased sharply over the last 40 years due to increased immigration in relation to the oil industry and the NATO center, and due to increased immigration from Catholic countries. The strong growth in membership over the past 20 years led to a wish to extend the current church in addition to start with several other booth locations. Already in 1996, the congregation started planning an expansion of the church, and expansion of the church building until nearly 600 seats was completed in 2012 as a continuation of the existing church idiom.
