Description

The stone church at Trondenes replaced an earlier stave church and today stands as the northernmost medieval stone church, symbolizing the spread of Christianity into the far north. On a guided tour, participants can explore hidden corners and admire beautifully carved wooden altars from its Catholic past. They can also climb a former watchtower to understand why the church was far more than just a place of worship. Meeting point: The parking area in front of the church. On request.
