Nidaros Cathedral

Nidaros Cathedral or St. Olaf Cathedral can rightly be compared with Notre Dames de Paris. One of the most important and magnificent cathedrals in Norway. This cathedral was the coronation site of the monarchs of Norway. Millions of pilgrims from Europe come here every year. It dates back to 1152. This year the Norwegian Diocese was formed. Olaf, after whom the cathedral is named, was a leader of the Vikings, and then became king of Norway, elevated to the image of saints. Built at the site of his burial. He is known for converting Norway to Christianity. Several times destroyed by fires. Gothic reliefs decorate the facade, magnificent stained glass windows, columns with arches, a marble altar of the 14th century make up the interior decoration. Two organs and relics of St. Erlandsson are in the temple. Regalia of Norwegian kings can be seen in the cathedral museum, and from the observation deck enjoy the view of the city.
