  The buildings and descriptions included in this database are mainly extracted from the book "Arkitektur i 1000 år" developed by Trondhjems Arkitektforening. We highly recommend the reading of the book that contains more detailed descriptions of these buildings as well as the description of more than 250 other buildings.

  By focusing on architecture, the database illustrates how CityExplorer can be used for other types of discovery of the city than provided by usual tourist guides. We encourage the users to create their own database for exploration of their preferred places in Trondheim or other cities (or to complement the current database) and to share them with other users.

  The Archbishop's Farm nearby the cathedral.
  Its construction was begun in the second half of the 1100s. The Archbishop's Farm is the oldest secular building and one of the best preserved buildings of its kind in Europe. Here was the Archbishop's residence until the Reformation in 1537.
  After the Reformation it was the Danish feudal lords who lived here. After the absolute monarchy was introduced in 1660, it was taken over by military authorities.
  The North wing - which contains the oldest buildings - widely used as a representation space for state, county and municipality.

  Originally Olav Kyrre church from 1070's. The archbishop Eystein Erlendsson started the construction of the cathedral after exile in England in 1180-1183. It is estimated that the cathedral was completed in 1321, and that it was already destroyed by fire in 1328. The development in the Middle Age is little known, but we know that fire ravaged the cathedral both in the 1400s and in 1531.
  Shortly after 1814, the Norwegian Parliament (in accordance with King Carl Johan) decided that the cathedral should again be a coronation church. The restoration project started in 1869 and lasted exactly one hundred years.

  The concert hall was not a free and independent area as many people wanted, but was included in a larger urban development project which included the forgotten and decaying flour storage quarter.
