Waisenhuset i Trondheim, Historic orphanage and social institution in Midtbyen, Norway
The Waisenhuset building features a two-story main structure with two outbuildings forming a courtyard near Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim.
Established in 1635 as a charitable foundation, the current building was constructed between 1771 and 1772 with architect Heinrich Kühnemann leading the project.
Norway's first school for deaf students opened at Waisenhuset on April 1, 1825, operating there until its relocation to Rødbygget in 1855.
The building now houses offices for the dean, parish priest, and other Nidaros Cathedral staff at Konggårdsgata 2B in central Trondheim.
Thomas Angell's testament in 1762 provided substantial financial support to Waisenhuset, enabling its reconstruction and expansion of charitable services.
