Archbishop's Palace
Erkebispegården
One of Scandinavia's oldest secular buildings, displaying the Norwegian crown jewels and original sculptures from the cathedral.
The Archbishop's Palace stands right beside the south side of the cathedral. Built in the 12th century as the residence of Norway's medieval archbishops, it is one of the best-preserved secular stone buildings in Northern Europe. The palace museum displays the original stone carvings that were replaced during the cathedral's restoration, along with archaeological finds. The crown jewels gallery in the west wing exhibits the crowns, sceptres and swords of Norway's kings and queens. There is also a military museum with an exhibition on the resistance movement. Tickets are often bought together with the cathedral, and a visit takes about an hour.
