We spent three days here, and start the trek home tomorrow by taking the train to Oslo.
Around town:
Nidaros Cathedral. Nidaros is an old name for Trondheim. They started building the cathedral in 1070 AD, and finished sometime around 1300. It burned down several times in the ensuing centuries, and by 1800 was in a “very poor” state. A group was formed for its restoration in 1869, and they have been working on it ever since.
The Archbishop’s Palace, built in the 1300-1400s.
Bakklandet—the old industrial neighborhood. Now very trendy. We walked through it on our way to visit the Kristianstein Festning (Fortress), built in 1681. You can see it at the top of the first photos. The funny red posts in the 3rd pic is a bicycle lift, to help cyclists to the top of the steep hill. You brace your right foot against a plate and it pushes you up…
Above the rooftops of Bakklandet, you can see NTNU—the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
