Harstad Cinema

Harstad Kino is a small architectural gem. It was built in 1955 by Jan Inge Hovig, the architect behind, among other things, the Arctic Cathedral in Tromsø, and Harstad Church. The cinema is a total work of art, and the use of materials is lavish. Teak, marble, copper and leather have been used.
The cinema has been rebuilt several times to meet modern needs, but many of the original elements - and not least the atmosphere - have been preserved.
Harstad Kino has two cinemas in use, called Sal 1 and Sal 2.
The cinema is located in the middle of Harstad city center at Erlings gate 3, 9405 Harstad.
Welcome to great experiences in a cinema with style!
