Experts' Choice Award Nidaros Cathedral
What the experts agree on
Nidaros Cathedral's ornate west facade—rows of saint and king statues around a rose window—is the highlight, stunning floodlit at night, while the soaring interior pillars emphasize its historic, sacred scale.
“The palace was the archbishop's residence until it was occupied by Danish governors after the Reformation, and later requisitioned by the army.”

"Superb rose window ornates the great portal and the western façade is decorated with rows of statues of saints and kings. Inside, the predominance of vertical lines reinforces the impression of height." Full review
Frommer's "The west facade is particularly impressive, with its carved figures of royalty and saints. It's especially appealing after dark, when the facade is floodlit. The interior is a maze of mammoth pillars" Full review
