Verdal, Municipality in Trøndelag, Norway

The municipality of Verdal spans 1,548 square kilometers in central Norway, containing forests, lakes, agricultural lands, and the administrative center of Verdalsøra.

The Battle of Stiklestad in 1030 took place in Verdal, where King Olav Haraldsson fell during the conflict that led to Norway's conversion to Christianity.

The Stiklestad National Cultural Centre presents the Saint Olav Drama each summer, depicting the historical events of the 1030 battle through outdoor performances.

The European route E6 and Nordland Line railway provide transportation connections, while the industrial park employs numerous residents in offshore manufacturing sectors.

A catastrophic landslide called Verdalsraset occurred in 1893, claiming 116 lives and destroying 100 farms, permanently altering the landscape of the municipality.
