Stiklestad Church

[1][2] Construction started with the building of the chancel in the years 1150-1180 under direction of Archbishop Øystein Erlendsson.

[4][5][6][7] During the 15th century, the nave was extended to the west by several meters using stone from a nearby church that had been torn down.

[13] The church underwent a major restoration from 1928–1930 to coincide with the St. Olaf Jubilee (Olavsjubileet) that took place in 1930.

During this renovation, the exterior plaster was removed to show the natural stone and the tower was rebuilt.

Floors, benches, and the second floor seating gallery were renewed, frescoes on the walls were uncovered, and the choir's walls and vault were decorated with frescoes by Alf Rolfsen.
