Trondenes Church is the northernmost and one of the most important medieval churches with traces back to the Viking era. After several years of restoration, the doors opened again in 1950. Upon entering the church, you’ll notice the beauty of the religious artwork and the vast, high-ceilinged room. At the head of the church, there are three triptych, which represents an important part of the church's 700-800 years history.
