Sverresborg Trøndelag Folk Museum
Sverresborg Trøndelag Folkemuseum
An open-air museum on the site of King Sverre's 12th-century castle, with more than 60 old wooden buildings and a wooden stave church.
The museum sits on the hill where King Sverre's 12th-century castle once stood. It collects more than 60 traditional farmhouses, town wooden houses and a 17th-century wooden stave church from the Trøndelag region, recreating rural and old-town life in central Norway. In summer, staff in traditional dress demonstrate handicrafts. Indoor galleries introduce Sami culture and the history of skiing. There are views over the city from the top of the hill. It's about a 15-minute bus ride from the city centre. Admission is about 170 kroner, and outdoor sections have limited opening hours in winter.
