Trondheim

His successor, Olaf II Haraldsson brought Christianity in the country, which was the reason why he was assassinated by his relatives. The city of Trondheim then became the centre of worshipping of the beloved king, and to his memory the northernmost cathedral in the world was built - the Nidarosdomen. .

Dominating landmarks

The Norman-Gothic structure of the cathedral with the tower in the middle has been always the dominating feature of Trondheim, and it looks down onto its old city with wooden houses, evoking impression of unconquerable fortress. The historical centre of Trondheim, called Midtbyen, is nearly surrounded by the Trondheimsfjord and the meanders of the Nidelva River. The best-known and busiest street in the city is Munkegata Street. It crosses the historical downtown from the fish market Ravnkloa on the north to the Nidarosdomen Cathedral on the south. Among main sights of Trondheim, there are, besides the already mentioned cathedral: e.g. the Archbishopric Palace, Trondheim Kunstmuzeum, church Var Frue Kirke, royal residence Stiftsgarden and the theatre Trondelag Teater. You should not miss a walk through the old harbour at the mouth of the Nidelva or through crooked lanes in the enchanting quarter Bakklandet. Today´s Trondheim has a population of 150 thousand and it is and administrative centre of the Sor Trondelag province.
