Nidaros Cathedral

1070–1300 · 11th century

Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim is the national sanctuary of Norway, built between about 1070 and 1300 over the grave of Saint Olaf. The northernmost medieval cathedral in the world, it combines Romanesque and Gothic styles and was the goal of pilgrims from across the Nordic world. It became the seat of an archbishop in 1152–1153, and it has been the setting for royal coronations and consecrations.
