Trondheim

24-25 July 2019 

This is a town to return to!
From my hotel room, the bells of the Nidaros cathedral gave me a glorious morning!
 
 
A lovely day of strolling around, started with crossing the old town bridge.
 
Walking through Bakklandet on pedestrian streets among the wooden houses, looking in small shops and coffeehouses, I especially enjoyed the name of "Den gamle kramshop" ("The old hug-cottage" in Swedish. However it seemed to have nothing to do with hugs in Norwegian, rather with krimskrams, i.e. knick-knacks ..).
 
Autumn 2015, an old church was found in a digging. It is probably what once was Saint Olav's Clemens church. Now there is a museum and a video telling about the life of Saint Olav which was very interesting! Inside the museum there was also the remains of a house that had been demolished when the church was built. More info: https://www.niku.no/en/prosjekter/klemenskirken/
 
Lunch at Trondheim's Microbrewery. 
 
For dessert, I found a cafe just beside Trondheim's Litteraturhouse (exactly in my taste as I am very fond of Berlin's Café im Litteraturhaus. This seemed to me a place in quite the same spirit).
 
Walking back through a Trondheim in the golden sunlight of evening and lingering for a while around the Nidaros Cathedral, admiring the impressive architecture.
 
The following day, I went to the museum of the cathedral (Inside, photographing was prohibited) and to the adjacent Archbishop's Palace with different expositions. It was all very interesting, let alone the archbishops coin workshop from 15:th century that was found in the digging in the 1980's. More info at: https://www.nidarosdomen.no/en/
