WHAT YOU VISIT
Kristiansten Fortress
Built on a hill with far-reaching views of the city and beyond, Kristiansten Fortress was built between 1681 and 1685 to protect the city against attacks. It accomplished its purpose in 1718 when Swedish forces laid siege against Trondheim. After German troops invaded Trondheim in 1940, they quickly used the fortress for surveillance, mounted anti-aircraft defenses and was used as a site for executions.

Trondheim Military Museum
Located in the historic Archbishop's Palace, the museum's exhibits detail military history from Viking times, through the Middle Ages and the union with Denmark and later Sweden. The museum also details the wartime resistance efforts in Trondheim during WWII.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Built on a hill overlooking the city, Kristiansten Fortress offers far-reaching views of the fjords, Nidelva River and mountains.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Adjacent to the Military Museum is the impressive Nidaros Cathedral. Built between 1070 and 1300, it's acclaimed as the northernmost medieval cathedral in the world. The western façade of the basilica is adorned with sculptures depicting Norwegian kings, bishops and saints.
