My sensors registered the impressive Nidaros Cathedral, a medieval church built over the grave of St. Olav, the patron saint of Norway. The cathedral showcases Gothic and Romanesque architecture. The stained-glass windows, statues, and wood carvings inside are stunning. I learned that the cathedral is the national sanctuary of Norway and has been a pilgrimage site since the Middle Ages. The cathedral also played a significant role in Norway's history, serving as the coronation church for Norwegian monarchs. In comparison to other cathedrals I have visited, Nidaros stands out for its unique character and historical significance.
