Stiklestad Church

Stiklestad Church features stone walls, Romanesque design elements, and a long church layout that accommodates 520 people in its assembly hall.

The church stands at the location where King Olaf II died during the Battle of Stiklestad in 1030, with construction completed in 1180.

The interior contains a baroque altarpiece from 1655 created by Johan Johansen, along with wall frescoes added during the 1930 restoration.

The church maintains regular worship services and opens its doors to visitors who want to explore its medieval architecture and historical elements.

A stone from the battlefield where King Olaf II fell remains preserved inside the altar, marking the exact location of this historical event.
