Nidaros Cathedral is Norway's original archbishop's church and one of the Nordic countries' largest medieval churches. For almost a thousand years, people have come to Nidaros Cathedral with their lives, their longings and their hopes. The Nidaros Cathedral was built on the spot where Olav the Saint's body was buried after the battle at Stiklestad. The church has a long and exciting building history from when it was begun in 1070 right up to the present day. Both architecturally, historically and artistically, the cathedral can compare with similar magnificent buildings in Europe. Today, tourists from all over the world make a pilgrimage to Nidaros Cathedral, which is Trondheim's biggest tourist attraction. Haakon VII was crowned in Nidaros Cathedral in 1906. Later, the church was used for the signing of both King Olav V and King Harald V. Church services are still held here, and then there is free entry. Beyond that, Nidaros Cathedral is open every single day. Tickets can be bought at the Visitor Center where there is also a small cafe and shop.
