Nidarosdomen Concerts

Really a must do when you are in the city. The cathedral is truly impressive and, if you are lucky, there are some guides just within the entrance who can share with you some history, as well as show you where some stonemasons might have left their marks. We were also lucky that there was a lady who played the organ for a short while, adding to the beauty of the place. The ceilings and stained glass reflect the old Catholic style, but the church is now a Lutheran one. There is a souvenir store next door, where you can buy the tickets, which costs 120 NOK per person. Across the courtyard, there was another museum which was showcasing military arms and uniforms, at the old cardinal's home, but we did not have the time to visit that.

The cathedral is almost 1000 years old and is well maintained. There is a charge to visit , but this is well worth it, and you can buy a combined ticket to see the adjoining Norwegian Crown Jewels and Bishops Palace, which results in an overall saving. The cathedral's website has details of ticket prices. The Kings and Queens of Norway are crowned here, as Trondheim used to be the capital city of Norway, hence the Crown Jewels being kept in an adjacent building. Inside the cathedral's architecture is magnificent with beautiful stained glass windows and ornate stone carvings. You are also able to visit an underground crypt with a display of ancient headstones which have been recovered. When we visited a large screen had been erected in the nave to show a film, as the building also serves the community in other ways.

Nice cathedral with great architecture. In the surrounding area are some benches so you can take a seat and look in detail at the sculptures

It’s kind of jaw dropping gorgeous and it’s where the do their Coronations! Also they do organ meditations! So worth it - a definite highlight and must do in Trondheim. I recommend buying tickets for the package.

A great cathedral. Established in 1030s as a wooden edifice, it is now after many reconstructions and dedicated maintenance, a glorious building with fine architecture and outstanding masonery expertise. Beautiful. Well worth the visit.
