I work in the Archbishop's Palace, the house next door to Nidaros Cathedral. Untill this winter my office had a great view of the cathedral park, and I especially loved watching spring through my office window. A couple of months ago I had to change office though, so now I have quite another view, actually almost no view at all, and to the opposite side. But still I walk through the park every morning on my way from where I park my car and to the office building.
The Nidaros Cathedral is built upon the grave of St.Olav. It is the biggest, and of course most beautiful cathedral in Scandinavia. Untill Martin Luther and the Reformation the archbishop used to live next door to the cathedral, and the Archbishop's Palace was built for that. Unfortunately part of the buildings were destroyed by a terribe fire in the 1980ies. About 10 years ago the new building were finished though, and the diocese administration of Nidaros could move in. Our office buildings can be seen to the left in the photo.
Here is a better photo of the cathedral.
The first photo is taken from my parking lot. If I turn around I can see the river Nidelven, and the old and famous warehouses along the river. And also part of an old bridge "gamle bybro - Old City Bridge" which we are very proud of.
Trondheim, or Nidaros which is the old name of the city, is a famous goal both for tourists and for pilgrims. The season for both groups has started and the city is getting more and more people every day now.
Today has been a beautiful sunny day, quite warm for the season, and we had the first dinner of the year out on the garden. Enjoy the photo :-) Seen
