Sverresborg Trøndelag Folk Museum

Fabulous place, like stepping back in time. Its like a big outdoor historical village with lots of interesting buildings & sculptures showcasing the legends & lifestyle of the times. Its spread out over quite a large area so be prepared for lots of walking & some steep hills. Some of the buildings you can go inside & have a glimpse into what life might’ve been like all those years ago...Right at the top lie the ruins of an impressive old castle & some fantastic views. That’s also a large modern cafe & delightful giftshop to enjoy. And when you get a ticket to this museum you can use it at another couple of museums around Trondheim. A great day out.

A fun museum just outside of Trondheim - we took the bus there and walked home again afterwards (it’s quite a bit up hill from Trondheim Centre). There’s different parts of the museum - Old Town where you can go inside different buildings and see what life used to be like in the 1800s, a farming bit with lots of old farm houses, an old stave church, a fortress and more. There’s also a nice cafe inside which is great to warm up in and an indoor exhibition which we didn’t have time to see. Just be careful with the time - we went on a Saturday so it was only open 11-3 and ran out of time to see everything! So come up with a bit of a plan first so you make sure you’re able to cover the best bits.

Over 60 heritage buildings from 18th century to the present are preserved at the open-air Sverresborg Trøndelag Folk Museum in Trondheim, Norway. Many 19th century buildings are preserved including Danielsveita furnished as a 1890 kitchen and the Stenbro House with an exhibition of a 1920s store. A pair of old turf-roof farm storehouses stand below the ruins of a medieval castle.

An enriching experience in a great location. The open-air museum is wonderfully organized, the old houses are filled with period furniture and accessories, allowing a rare glimpse into life "in the past." From the top of the park there are wonderful views of the city and its surroundings. Don't miss the souvenir shop on site, there are wonderful glass works, made locally.

Interesting collection and guided tours. Good value for money (kids and parking for free). Outside the 'old town' many buildings cannot be entered and sometimes it is hard to understand if you do not master Norwegian. All in all, this is a nice place for families, also tourists.

Great open air museum, beautiful buildings full of history. Loved the town, and especially the apothecary and the apartment above it. The stavekirke was not as spectacular as others around Norway, but still worth a visit. Recommended.

This place had been sitting in my bookmarks for years, and finally I got to visit Norway for the first time and see it with my own eyes ✨ It’s a magical place where you can truly feel the beauty and history of Norway through everyday life, folklore, and creative people Thank you for this magical experience and your priceless work 🖤 Tusen takk to Thea and the other girl whose name I forgot to ask - for letting travel through the centuries ✨🧌

10/10. You get a second day for free which I used too and the guided tours were awesome. My favourite book series is The legend of the Ice people and this trip to the past will help me so much imagining all the aspects of the books while reading them. :)
