VIMU Guided Tour: The Church Under the Street

In 2016, traces of a small wooden church were found in Krambugata, which was first built around the second half of the 11th century.

The church was destroyed several times over a period of just over 200 years, but rebuilt time and time again – each time in wood. A fire in the 14th century marked its end. Although the church was not rebuilt at that time, the altar remained standing and was given a protective shed, or small chapel, over it.

During the oldest church phase, traces of residential buildings from the end of the Viking Age were also found, giving us insight into the daily life of Trondheim's very first inhabitants.

Join a tour that provides insight into a time when Trondheim was the archbishopric for the entire Norse cultural area and people's lives were permeated by the church, and a very interesting archaeological find from the area where the medieval city of Nidaros grew up.
