Nidaros Cathedral
After the fish market and lunch at BK we walked down a block or so to check out Nidaros Cathedral. This place is amazing. Construction on the Cathedral began around 1070 and went on into the 1300s. Major restoration has been done on it in the last hundred years. Cameras are not allowed inside the church so I do not have pictures of that but it is amazing. The stained glass is very ornate and walking inside you got the feeling of what it must have been like to live in a castle. I will for sure visit Nidaros again. If you want to see pictures of the inside here is a link Nidaros that shows more detailed pictures.
