5 Sacred & Religious Sites in Trondheim That You Shouldn't Miss

July 14, 2021 Layne Dawes

Norway's capital of technology, the university town of Trondheim is a tech junkie's paradise and a history nerd's dream. The 11th-century Nidarosdomen Cathedral is the national sanctuary of Norway, and the Royal Residence is the largest wooden palace in Scandanavia. Fast-forward several centuries, and SINTEF science research center is doing some of the world's most important work in environmentally-friendly technologies. Nearby skiing is world-class, with World Cup winter sports competitions held regularly at Granåsen.

Church of Our Lady

The Church of Our Lady in Trondheim was celebrating its 800th anniversary in 2007 on the evidence that the church was mentioned for the first time in written sources dating from 1207. It was restored in 1739, but parts of the thick walls of the Church are obviously much older. The church is always open for prayers, meditation or just a place to spend time.

I visited the church inside during a Trondheim local festival that highlighted its historic places and culture. In the simple church interior I heard an amazing violin concert that held one mesmerized with the acoustics. The history dates far back and reflects Norways history.

Munkholmen

Trondheim's execution ground in ancient times. Benedictine monks built a monastery on the island very early in the 11th century, probably one of the first two monastries in Scandinavia. In 1658 it was converted into a prison and fortress, later becoming a customs house. Its most famous inmate was the Danish Count Peder Griffenfeld, who spent 18 years as a prisoner there. Today The Monks' Island is a popular recreational area, with a nice beach and a restaurant.

Best part of tour was an extremely skilled tour guide. He knew it all: Norwegian history, kings of Viking age, Trondheim history from A to Z, had good stories and had knowledge of marine life in Trondheimsfjorden as well. Not a boring moment; right pace and volume when talking to us all. Tour worth the money just by a superb guide. In addition, Munkholmen visit was nice and Nidelven up and down was nice as well. Great weather too. Highly recommend experience.
