  • 4/5 Sven S. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Is next to the cathedral. Combined ticket recommended with cathedral and crown jewels. It's best to go to the cathedral first. After that, you will learn very interesting facts about the history of the city, the religious history and the architecture of the cathedral. It is definitely worth it. (Original) Liegt neben dem Dom. Kombiticket zusammen mit Dom und Kronjuwelen empfohlen. Am besten geht man erst in den Dom. Danach erfährt man nämlich ergänzend sehr in interessante Fakte zur Geschichte der Stadt, zur religiösen Geschichte und zur Architektur des Doms. Es lohnt sich in jedem Falle.

  • 5/5 Per A. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great environment for concerts. Had a strange dream almost 10 years ago about a warm and dusty place abroad, surrounded by tall lanes where me and a friend should see Lars Winnerbäck perform. Three years later, I discovered that I dreamed of Borggården, and bye, just that friend was there! (Original) Fantastisk miljö för konserter. Hade en märklig dröm för snart tio år sedan om en varm och dammig plats utomlands, omgiven av höga flyglar där jag och en vän skulle se Lars Winnerbäck uppträda. Tre år senare upptäckte jag att jag drömt om Borggården, och jovisst, just den vännen var med!

    (Translated by Google) Nice to have concerts in the backyard. Leaving behind Nidaros Cathedral, church. The Grenadene restaurant is located close by. They serve Norwegian food, among other things. Close to bus stop and Prinsen cinema. (Original) Fint å ha konserter i bakgården.Ligger bak Nidarosdommen , kirke.

    The exhibition in archbishop Museum is sub par. Lighting of is not optimal, sometimes flashing LEDs into your eyes while you observe the finds. Whoever organized the exhibition decided to put several items at floor level, together with information plaques. Every now and then you have to strike a yoga pose to read and observe something at ankle height. Please rearrange for human consumption.

  • 4/5 Katja A. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a really fascinating place. Very impressive with how much information there is about everything. I was completely taken by surprise in the lower floor/basement area.

  • 5/5 Madlen K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to visit, the most intereating thing was an old mint. You can buy the combinate ticket to the cathedral, crown jewels and this museum.

    Stunning buildings here

  • 4/5 paulo d. 1 year ago on Google
    The grounds of the palace were very beautiful, the inside of palace was interesting to visit as well, not as impressive as the Cathedral but worth the visit nonetheless!

  • 1/5 Rui T. 8 months ago on Google
    Boring. Nothing but old statues with no information or stories on them. One movie that explained a lot but none of the statues which was disappointing. We bought a combined ticket to all three so we did kind of get this one free or discounted but it wasn't very interesting.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice and interesting museum about Nidaros Donkyrka, entrance to the museum is included in the price for and get into the church :) Very good. Friendly and knowledgeable staff (Original) Mycket fint och intressant museum om Nidaros Donkyrka, inträde till museet ingår i priset för och komma in I kyrkan :) Mycket bra . Trevlig och kunnig personal

  • 4/5 Kyle D. 7 years ago on Google
    The interior is quite modern and beautiful, but I wasn't so interested in its content. We got the combo pass for the cathedral, so it was a nice side-attraction.

  • 5/5 Mardiray 5 years ago on Google
    This is an open-air museum adjacent to Nidaros Cathedral. The medieval stone walls on display stand in stark contrast to the highly decorated church next door. It is an ideal place to bring the children when they want to play knights and castles. Some paths are gravel or cobblestone and might be hard to navigate by wheelchair. There are also some sills at some of the doorways.

  • 4/5 Tyler L. 6 years ago on Google
    It’s not every city that has both a cathedral and a palace, but Trondheim isn’t a normal city. The massive palace is more of a fortress it seems, and is totally worth a visit. Inside the fortified walls is a huge courtyard where medieval reenactments are held and museums are contained. The history of the place is palpable, and it’s definitely worth stopping in when visiting the city’s medieval landmarks.

  • 5/5 Eirik 7 years ago on Google
    Set in a new building at the rear of the courtyard of the Archbishop's residence, the museum at first seemd unassuming. The admissions price was reasonable (90 NOK at the time of writing) and I thought the main level was the whole museum. I was wrong: there is a good sized lower level with many artifacts and displays, as well as an upper mezzanine. The place was pleasantly large and I spent a good hour and a half taking it in. What you'll find inside are original pieces of statues recovered from restoration of the cathedral done in the 1990s. These pieces were simply thrown into the walls to rebuild following a massive fire in Trondheim in the 1500s. They are interesting to look at for the art style and details and date back to the 1100s and 1200s. Downstairs are numerous displays and artifacts derailing the way the Archbishop's residence and surroundings were going back in time, from examples of weapons and coins to how things were built and models of how the area changed over time. These displays are set in the footprint of the actual original walls that were excavated in the 1990s. It's a fascinating walk through history. Overall I recommend this museum without hesitation. It was basically my favorite place in Trondheim.

    Very rich and ancient museum. The Archbishop's palace is more than a 1000 years old. Was impressed as much as by the Cathedral itself.

  • 4/5 Hans Olav N. 6 years ago on Google
    A museum about the time when Norway was a catholic country (before the reformation), and the seat of the archbishop of Norway was in Trondheim. Both tells the story of top politics of the time, the life of people around the archbishop and results from several archaeological digs in the area around the Nidaros churh.
