THE CITY OF TRONDHEIM
Trondheim is a meeting place. A meeting of the old and the new. Of the crown and the church. Of warriors and peddlers. Of grassroots and high technology. More than a thousand years have passed since the Viking king Olav Tryggvason sailed up the Trondheim fjord in his longship and decided that this was where he would found his city, which he called Nidaros. (997 AD) From his 18-metre high statue he surveys the city now, over a thousand years later.

The city became the seat of the archbishop and the crown, and was the country’s first capital for two hundred years, a prospering centre for trade, shipping and culture.

Today, Trondheim is the third largest city in Norway, and a major centre for high technology research and education. One big village – or a small city. Where past and present meet.
