Additionally, it is the northernmost medieval building that has survived to our times. According to Wikipedia and information boards in front of the church, the interior is richly decorated. Three gothic triptychs, a baroque pulpit, an 18th-century organ and the remains of medieval frescoes are attractions waiting for visitors. As the temple was situated right on the seashore, in the past it was the main religious center in northern Norway. A sail was hung under its ceiling, the remains of which can now be seen in the Trondenes Historical Center, a two-minute walk from the church itself.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<script

However, sources say that it was built on the site of at least two other temples. The first was most likely a typical wooden stave church erected in 1114 by King \u00d8ystein Magnusson. The remains of the later stone temple still exist today in the form of a stone wall and the remains of two towers facing the sea.<br>There is a bell tower in the cemetery that surrounds the church. Once there were bells hung on the church tower, but this one was demolished and has not survived to our times.<br>I got to Trondenes early in the morning, around 7.00. There was no way I could go inside and look at the decorations there. The Historic Center was also closed so early, so all I could to do was look around the church.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img

13th century and it is considered the northernmost medieval stone church in Norway. Additionally, it is the northernmost medieval building that has survived to our times. According to Wikipedia and information boards in front of the church, the interior is richly decorated. Three gothic triptychs, a baroque pulpit, an 18th-century organ and the remains of medieval frescoes are attractions waiting for visitors. As the temple was situated right on the seashore, in the past it was the main religious center in northern Norway. A sail was hung under its ceiling, the remains of which can now be seen in the Trondenes Historical Center, a two-minute walk from the church itself. It is not known exactly when the church in Trondenes was built. However, sources say that it was built on the site of at least two other temples. The first was most likely a typical wooden stave church erected in 1114 by King \u00d8ystein Magnusson. The remains of the later stone temple still exist today in the form of a stone wall and the remains of two towers facing the sea.There is a bell tower in the cemetery that surrounds the church. Once there were bells hung on the church tower, but this one was demolished and has not survived to our times.I got to Trondenes early in the morning, around 7.00. There was no way I could go inside and look at the decorations there. The Historic Center was also closed so early, so all I could to do was look around the church. And although it would seem that the history of the church is mainly from the Middle Ages, it has another, much modern and dark story up its sleeve. Right behind the temple, on its eastern side, you can find a monument and several information boards as well as the remains of several buildings. In the years 1941 \u2013 1945, when Norway was under German occupation, Soviet prisoners of war were brought to Trondenes and used to work on fortifying the coast. It is estimated that around 100,000 prisoners may have been sent here, 13,700 of whom died of cold, hunger, disease and physical exhaustion. Soviet prisioners from the Red Army were used to erect buildings, foundations for cannons, build roads, transport construction materials and remove snow.The Trondenes prisioners camp was one of the largest in Norway. Its location was chosen on special purpose, because it was here that Hitler\u2019s Fortress, Theo Battery, part of the great Atlantic Wall, stretching from the Bay of Biscay to the Arctic Ocean, was built. Atlantic Wall was a range of fortifications that was to protect the German-conquered Europe from the Allied invasion. The Trondenes Peninsula was one of 300 locations where defensive fortifications were erected in Norway in 1942-1943.Four huge guns (40.6cm SK C \/ 34) called Adolf\u2019s cannons were set up here. Manufactured by Krupp\u2019s factory, they were supposed to be installed on H and J-class battleships, but these were never completed and finally the guns were assigned to the fortifications of the Atlantic Wall. One of these cannons is available to visitors today, but due to the fact that it is located on the area of an active Norwegian military base, you must make an appointment in advance. An interesting fact is that three cannons this type were originally installed in Poland, on the Hel Peninsula in 1940.
