Stiftsgården - the Royal Residence in TrondheimIntroduction One of the largest wooden buildings in the Nordic countries, now called the Royal Residence, was completed in 1778 and stretched all of 58 meters along Munkegaten.

History 1778-1800

Cecilia Christine Schøller, widow of the Privy Councilor, paid the amount of 7400 spesiedaler to have the mansion built The widow and her in-laws had 140 rooms at their disposal. However, she did not have many years to enjoy the splendid interior of her new house before she left for Copenhagen, where she died in 1786. Her son-in-law, General Georg Fredrik von Krogh, organized the lively social activities here before the heirs sold the house to the state in 1800. Then the County Governor and the County Court moved in.

History 1818-1997

When Karl Johan was crowned in 1818, the Royal Residence served as the point of departure for the coronation procession to Nidaros Cathedral for the first time. The year after the union was dissolved - in 1906 - King Håkon VII was crowned, and the name "the Royal Residence" was taken into use. This mansion was the splendid backdrop for the blessing of King Olav V in 1958 and King Harald V in 1991, for the city's millennium celebrations, and for the joint celebration of the sixtieth birthdays of the King and the Queen in 1997.

Style

The Royal Residence has the style and exquisite detail that make it a true wooden palace. It offers rooms for any occasion including official receptions, with hallsacross the whole width of the house on both floors, with Troningssalen –the Throne Room - on the ground floor and Dronningens salon - the Queen'sSalon- on the floor above. It also has a number of rooms on each side combined with smaller chambers. There are no corridors, but enfiladed double doors between the rooms, so that when the doors are open the special character andcolours of the rooms can be seen at a glance. Examples of the light, airy Rococo use of space abound, replete with elaborate embellishments and elegant adornments in the ceilings, wall paintings and tapestries reflecting the chinoiserie style.

NIDAROSDOMENNidarosdomen was started to be built in 1070. First it was wary small, but after time many people come to visit the place, so they build it even bigger and after it come more and more people. So they build it bigger and so on.

Bakklandet is from the Gamlebybro to the Elgseterbro. Bakklandet were the first suburbs, and it was first build in 1600s. Bakklandet is a very important part of the city. In 1658 burned Sweden bakklandet and in 1718 it was burned again of Norwegian forces, as part of the defense of the city.

BAKKLANDET

In 1965, the road plan for Trondheim proposed that the area large be demolished to make way for a four-lane motorway which would connect Elgeseter gate with Innherredsveien. The plans were met by opposition from locals, and by the early 1980s the plan was shelved. On Bakklandet lived craftsmen, small merchants and working people, so the piers were smaller and the houses easily and often on one town had also brews.

The Festning was built in Trondheim after the fire in 1681 and was finished in 1685. The fort was meant to be a thing to protect the Norwegians from the Swedish. But they stopped using it in 1816 by King Charles XIV John.

When the people came to Norway, we brought them to Sverresborg. Sverresborg is a cultural museum with old houses and churches from the medieval times. The museum has about sixty old buildings and most of these old houses are from the 17- and 1800’s. The museum started in 1909. We had the possibility to have a guided tour; the guide told us many things about how and why these buildings were built.

A stave church is a old Christian church made out of wood. They used to be common all around Europe but the remaining ones are mostly in Europe and from 1500..
