New interior lighting

Thanks to the new lighting from 2020, visitors can now experience stone sculptures, stained glass windows, beautiful vaults and archways that have until now been hidden in the dark.

The West Front

The West Front is the Cathedral's beautiful and ornate façade towards the west. It is designed as a screen front, consisting of two western towers and a wall that connects them.

The stained glass windows

A stained glass window consists of many coloured or stained pieces of glass, pieced together with strips of lead to form a mosaic.

The sami altar

The Sami altar of Nidaros Cathedral was consecrated during “Tråante”, The centennial of the Sami Assembly, in 2017. The altar was created by South Sami artist, Folke Fjällström.
