Was at Grandma and Grandpa's grave. The church is nice now.

Gösta T (3 years ago)
An ordinary church and cemetery. The church is not used.

Oxana Smirnova (4 years ago)
It is technically not a church, everything is moved as far as Estonia and elsewhere. But a quiet place, complete with an odd piece of modern art.

Lars Johansson (4 years ago)
Newly renovated but the place feels desolate

Kristiansten Fortress

Kristiansten Fortress was built to protect the city against attack from the east. Construction was finished in 1685. General Johan Caspar von Cicignon, who was chief inspector of kuks fortifications, was responsible for the new town plan of Trondheim after the great fire of 18 April 1681. He also made the plans for the construction of Kristiansten Fortress.

The fortress was built during the period from 1682 to 1684 and strengthened to a complete defence fortification in 1691 by building an advanced post Kristiandsands bastion in the east and in 1695 with the now vanished Møllenberg skanse by the river Nidelven. These fortifications were encircled by a continuous palisade and thereby connected to the fortified city. In 1750 the fortress was modernized with new bastions and casemates to protect against mortar artillery.
