Trondheim: Cathedral
Description
Trondheim’s cathedral is built in a similar style to that of St Magnus in Kirkwall and is modelled on Lincoln Cathedral. The Cathedral is the only surviving medieval cathedral in Norway, and consequently is the main Cathedral for the country, being home to coronation ceremonies and the heart of the countries religious life. The Cathedral was built on the supposed burial site of the patron saint of Norway, St Olaf and the high alter is supposedly on the site where his body was buried.
