The 10 Best Churches & Cathedrals in Central Norway, Central Norway
The central Norwegian area of Trondelag has its ideological capital in Trondheim, founded by Viking king Olaf Tryggvason in the 10th century and the seat of Norway's power until the 13th. Today, it's still the country's third-largest city, a university town with a rich culture. Trondelag's western offshore islands of Hitra and Froya are popular for outdoor adventures like camping, hiking, biking, snorkeling and scuba diving. They are also one of the world's best spots for deep sea fishing.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3 reviews
Director Peder Hiort died a rich man. He had no direct descendants. In his will he therefore decided that his fortune of 30,000 riksdaler should be the starting capital of a foundation with the aim of furthering arts and crafts, home industry, and other useful employment measures to improve the population’s industry and standard of living. The foundation he established in 1788 is still running. Peder Hiort built his own chapel by the church and lies embalmed in the cellar, together with his family, wearing his full mining uniform.

The church is built to the same dimensions and in the same architectural style as the original from ca. 1170 that is now housed in Trondelag Folkemuseum. The stave church’s unbelievable acoustics and atmosphere offer the opportunity for musical, cultural and spiritual experiences

9. Roros Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 246 reviews
‘Bergstadens Ziir’ – better known as Roros Church – was built during the copperwork’s golden age ‘in God’s honour and as an adornment to the town. The church, which was completed in 1784, does justice to its name with its majestic location high above the timber buildings. The Directorate for Cultural Heritage regards the church as one of the ten most profiled churches in Norway. It is one of the country’s largest churches with seating for 1,600 people. The church has been newly opened after 2 years of extensive renovation and has now been restored to its former glory.

Yes, this was a very interesting Church, entry fee Nkr 50,00 and well worth the money. A large amount of history, and you can rent a guide.
