Temples & religious sites
Kolstad Church
Kolstad Church
Located in the Kolstad district of Trondheim, this is a Church of Norway congregation. Visitors typically go to see its modern architectural style, as the building is a rectangular concrete structure completed in 1986, which differs from the traditional wooden stave churches found elsewhere in Norway.
Getting There
The church is situated outside the immediate city centre. It is accessible via local bus routes or by car. The journey from central Trondheim generally takes about 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic and transport mode.
Visit Duration
Because the site is a neighborhood parish church and not a large cathedral complex, most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes exploring the architecture and the immediate grounds.
Timing Your Visit
The site does not typically experience heavy tourist crowds. It is best to visit during daylight hours to observe the concrete exterior. Visitors should be mindful of scheduled religious services, as sightseeing may be restricted during these times.
