This lovely cathedral was sensitively lit to enhance the architecture of the building. Lovely rose stained glass window, intricate carvings including the striking font. The dedicated chapels were worth a visit, such as that for the fallen in WWII with its beautiful golden alter tableau, and the beautifully carved birch alter created by the Sami in their traditional style was also an interesting feature. There was also what appeared to be a painting on wood that was of an Orthodox or Coptic depiction of Christ. The cathedral cafe is worth visiting as it affords good views of the front of the cathedral and offers an excellent range of light snacks and patisserie. We visited it twice. The toilets here are clean and good. The shop has some interesting items and books. The ticket includes a visit to the Archbishop’s Palace Museum, which is most interesting.
6. 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.
