#### Discover the world that belonged to the Vikings at this fascinating museum and multimedia display embedded in the hillside on the Trondenes Peninsula.

The Trondenes Historical Centre reveals over a millennia of history, dating back to the region’s early Viking settlement through Nazi German occupation during World War II. Learn about the Trondenes Peninsula and the wider Harstad region’s fascinating medieval age through an exciting multimedia presentation, which incorporates video, sound, light and even scent.

It might take a second glance to notice the Trondenes Historical Centre. The intriguingly designed building appears to be built into the surrounding hillside, with a sod roof that looks like a gently sloping lawn. Enter the building to be whisked away to the Viking era, when clans of these fierce seafarers roamed the region. Learn about the local chieftain, Tore Hund, who took the life of Norway’s patron saint, St. Olaf, during the bloody 11th-century Battle of Stiklestad.

The museum’s permanent exhibit integrates a variety of senses into its display. Audiovisual presentations are accompanied by special lighting effects and intriguing smells. Look for original artifacts and archaeological findings, which are explained with English text. Check out paintings and statues depicting the region’s cultural heritage through the ages.

Enjoy a break with hot coffee and a pastry from the museum’s café. The dining area looks out over the still waters of the fjord and the surrounding mountains. In winter, the fire-lit café is the perfect place to admire the snow-capped mountains, illuminated by the beautiful polar light.

Trondenes Historical Centre is located on the Trondenes Peninsula, 2 miles (3 kilometers) north of Harstad town. Reach the museum by car or with a charter tour. Use the on-site parking lot. The museum is open daily during the summer, but is closed on Saturdays during the remainder of the year. It is also closed on public and national holidays. Stroll along the pleasant waterfront and stop at the medieval Trondenes Church nearby. Here, you’ll see stunning Gothic and Baroque artworks inside the ancient parish building.
