DISPLAY
Stiklestad 1030
The exhibition is open every day from 09:00 - 18:00.

The exhibition "Stiklestad 1030" is our permanent exhibition which you can experience in the brick corridor in the castle garden at the cultural center. On 29 July 1030, the most famous battle in Norwegian history took place at Stiklestad. Here the Viking king Olav Haraldsson fell, while the story of the martyr king Olav the Saint began.
The legacy from Olav has influenced Norwegian society for almost a thousand years. The exhibition "Stiklestad 1030" is a journey through both Olav's time and the great shift from Norse religion to Christianity. What did the change of faith really mean? Why did they rebel against Olav? What consequences did the king's fall at Stiklestad have? Text, pictures, tableaus and, not least, original objects from Olav's own time allow you to get close to a society at a turning point and Stiklestad's core history.
Welcome to "Stiklestad 1030".
