The Nidaros Cathedral was begun built in 1153, when Trondheim became the home of a separate archbishopric. It is built on top of the grave of St Olav who fell at the Battle Of Sticklestad at the end of the viking era in 1030, and was soon after made a saint. The Nidaros Dom has burned down several times during the centuries and is still undergoing the latest reconstruction which was begun in 1879.
