The woman who found the collar on the shores of Trondenes thought it was a bit of scrap from the war. It was imported from a Scandinavian Bronze Age culture further south and tells us that trade routes existed way back then. A bronze cauldron found in a bog at Bjark\u00f8ya was dated to 275 AD. The theory is that it was a sacrificial cauldron. It holds almost 250 liters, and is thus the largest of its kind in Norway. Expensive objects like this are an indication that Bjark\u00f8y was already a power center in Northern Norway during the Iron Age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trondenes-was-the-border-of-halogaland\">Trondenes was the border of H\u00e5logaland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Iron Age, the Viking Age and into the Middle Ages, the southern part of Northern Norway was populated by a Norse people, referred to as <em>H\u00e5logaland<\/em>, while the northern parts were dominated by the Sami, called <em>Finnm\u01ebrk<\/em>. We do not know exactly where the border ran, and it certainly changed over a long period of time. In any case, Bjark\u00f8y and Trondenes were the two northernmost chiefdoms in H\u00e5logaland dominating the fjords and straits around V\u00e5gsfjorden and over to the Senja side. That put them close to the Sami and their rich resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/003197_Soer-Troms-Museum_www.nordnorge.com-2.jpg\" data-size=\"941x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/003197_Soer-Troms-Museum_www.nordnorge.com-2.jpg\" alt=\"2500 years ago, a noble woman at Trondenes has carried this necklace of bronse \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/003197_Soer-Troms-Museum_www.nordnorge.com-2.jpg\" data-caption=\"2500 years ago, a noble woman at Trondenes has carried this necklace of bronse \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Runepinne-copy.jpg\" data-size=\"1290x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Runepinne-copy-768x476.jpg\" alt=\"Stick with runic inscriptions \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Runepinne-copy.jpg\" data-caption=\"Stick with runic inscriptions \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/003196_Soer-Troms-Museum_www.nordnorge.com-2-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1221x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/003196_Soer-Troms-Museum_www.nordnorge.com-2-1-768x503.jpg\" alt=\"The giant bronce cauldron dating from 400 AD, found in a bog on Bjark\u00f8ya Island \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/003196_Soer-Troms-Museum_www.nordnorge.com-2-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"The giant bronce cauldron dating from 400 AD, found in a bog on Bjark\u00f8ya Island \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: 2500 years ago, a noble woman at Trondenes has carried this necklace of bronse \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Stick with runic inscriptions \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: The giant bronce cauldron dating from 400 AD, found in a bog on Bjark\u00f8ya Island \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trading-with-the-sami-was-the-basis-of-the-chiefdoms-power\">Trading with the Sami was the basis of the chiefdoms&#8217; power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sami during this period (then called the Finns) could supply luxury products that were in demand in Europe, primarily furs. The fur from marten, ermine and lynx were bought by powerful men and women all over Europe. Contact and trade with the Sami was of great importance back then. The chieftain Ottar from H\u00e5logaland, who visited King Alfred&#8217;s court in England around 890 (and who may well have lived at Trondenes) seems to have ruled over the Sami. His farm was unimpressive to the English, but his wealth and position were built on trading with the Sami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bring-what-you-need-with-you-to-the-grave\">Bring what you need with you to the grave<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several hundred round tumulus burial mounds were found around V\u00e5gsfjorden. In the Merovingian period (600-800 AD), people were often buried without any visible markings above the ground. It was common to bury objects that might be useful in the next life. The women often wore bronze jewelry and pearls. These could come from far away, such as the Finnish-speaking areas in the southeast, from Russia and from the Frankish Empire. It shows trade relations that reached far and wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"695\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/003206_Soer-Troms-museum_www.nordnorge.com_-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/003206_Soer-Troms-museum_www.nordnorge.com_-1024x695.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/003206_Soer-Troms-museum_www.nordnorge.com_-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/003206_Soer-Troms-museum_www.nordnorge.com_-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/003206_Soer-Troms-museum_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The drum was the instrument the noaide (Sami shaman) used to go into a trance, allowing his soul to travel in space and time \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-viking-beliefs-remained-at-trondenes-for-centuries\">The Viking beliefs remained at Trondenes for centuries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The northernmost Norse areas were also among the regions where the old Asatru Norse religion lasted the longest. An exhibition at Trondenes Historical Center explains the history of three gods in particular. The one-eyed Odin was the most powerful of the gods who could transform into many figures; he was also the god of wisdom. His son, Thor, was a great warrior who fought against the Jotnes (the enemies of the gods) using his immense powers. The fertility goddess, Fr\u00f8y, ruled over annual cycles of growth and harvest, over animals in heat and men&#8217;s virility. There were many other gods and mythological beings back then. It all took place along a timeline from the creation of the world via the battle against the Jotnes to Ragnarok, the doom of the world. A new world arose then. Our epochs falls somewhere between the creation and Ragnarok. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sami-religion-lived-side-by-side\">Sami religion lived side by side<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/artikkel\/samiid-vuorka-davvirat-de-samiske-samlinger-viser-samekulturen-fra-grunnen-av\/\">Sami religion<\/a> existed side by side with the Asatru faith. The sun was a key primordial being in the Sami beliefs. The noaid (shaman) communicated with the hereafter on behalf of the Sami. He did this by beating his magic drum, singing joik and entering a trance. Then his soul could travel in time and space, presage and communicate with the gods of the Sami pantheon. Sacrificial sites (sieidis) are found in the wilderness of the north, often associated with boulders, mountains and lakes of unusual shapes. The two ethnic groups practised quite different religions. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sigrid-med-spydet-tegnet-av-Ingolf.jpg\" data-size=\"809x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sigrid-med-spydet-tegnet-av-Ingolf.jpg\" alt=\"Sigrid urges Tore Hund to avenge her son Asbj\u00f8rn Selsbane \u00a9 Ingolf\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sigrid-med-spydet-tegnet-av-Ingolf.jpg\" data-caption=\"Sigrid urges Tore Hund to avenge her son Asbj\u00f8rn Selsbane \u00a9 Ingolf\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Tore-Hund.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1348\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Tore-Hund-768x1294.jpg\" alt=\"Tore Hund kills Saint Olav with the spear that his relative had been killed by \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Tore-Hund.jpg\" data-caption=\"Tore Hund kills Saint Olav with the spear that his relative had been killed by \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Sigrid urges Tore Hund to avenge her son Asbj\u00f8rn Selsbane \u00a9 Ingolf<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Tore Hund kills Saint Olav with the spear that his relative had been killed by \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trondenes-was-essential-to-the-drama-surrounding-the-christianisation-of-norway\">Trondenes was essential to the drama surrounding the Christianisation of Norway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The writer of the Sagas, Snorri Sturlusson, described the dramas of the chieftain&#8217;s court at Trondenes under Olav the Holy and the Christianisation of Norway. The chieftains in the north asserted themselves against him and opposed the conversion to Christianity. The king resorted to boycotting; he forbade the selling of grain to the northerners. Asbj\u00f8rn Sigurdson, chieftain of Trondenes, journeyed to his family at Avaldsnes near Karmsundet, where he could buy grain. An ally of the king, Tore Sel, intercepted Asbj\u00f8rn&#8217;s ship on its way north to rob him of that much-needed grain. Asbj\u00f8rn took revenge and killed Tore, being given the nickname <em>the Scourge of Sel<\/em> (Selsbane).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-revenge-in-two-rounds\">A revenge in two rounds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That rebellion was not graciously received by the king. Another of the king&#8217;s men killed Asbj\u00f8rn while he was leaving Vester\u00e5len. When the body of Asbj\u00f8rn and the spear that killed him (<em>Selshevneren<\/em>, the avenger of Sel) were brought home to Trondenes, Asbj\u00f8rn&#8217;s mother summoned a close ally of Asbj\u00f8rn to Trondenes, Tore Hund from Bjark\u00f8y. He swore revenge. Tore Hund used Selshevneren to kill Olav at the Battle of Stiklestad on 29 July 1030. King Olav was later canonised (made a saint) by the church. This is how Trondenes became the focal point of one of the most famous dramas in Norwegian history. Of course, much space has been dedicated to the drama in the exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20190628_141948.jpg\" data-size=\"1067x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20190628_141948.jpg\" alt=\"The trade in stockfish took off in the 13th c. \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20190628_141948.jpg\" data-caption=\"The trade in stockfish took off in the 13th c. \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sjakkonge.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sjakkonge-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"Chess king \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sjakkonge.jpg\" data-caption=\"Chess king \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/gutt-med-hette_Foto-Harriet-M.-Olsen-Sor-Troms-Museum-2.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/gutt-med-hette_Foto-Harriet-M.-Olsen-Sor-Troms-Museum-2-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Ulf, the smallest kid \u00a9 Harriet M.

The chieftains were probably also deprived of much of their landed properties, which fell to the crown and church estates. The Sami, on the other hand, did not become part of the realm. The Christianisation of the Sami took nearly 600 years. The ethnic divide that had existed was reinforced by a religious divide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stockfish-was-the-realm-s-economic-backbone-in-the-middle-ages\">Stockfish was the realm&#8217;s economic backbone in the Middle Ages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With Christianity, <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/artikkel\/torrfiskmuseet-pa-a-forklarer-hvordan-torsk-blir-til-torrfisk\/\">stockfish<\/a> took over the role of the most important commodity in Europe. Cod can be dried without salt or smoking in the coastal climate of Northern Norway and was a product that was easy to export. In Europe, the gentry ate stockfish during Lent so they could eat animal proteins without breaking the rules, while most people had to stick to a vegetarian diet. From the 13th century onwards, the stockfish trade was the basis for Northern Norway&#8217;s economic growth, and stockfish became the country&#8217;s most valuable export item. In Trondenes, people paid 6000 kilos of stockfish annually to lease land and as a tax in the 15th century. Such large sums can be used to build a church.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Foto-Harriet-M.-Olsen-Sor-Troms-Museum-9793.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Foto-Harriet-M.-Olsen-Sor-Troms-Museum-9793.jpg\" alt=\"The church seen from the south \u00a9 Harriet M.

Construction may have started around the year 1180, and the choir was completed by the year 1250. It took a while before the nave was built, but construction did start around 1400. The roof was laid by approx. 1450. This is one of the largest country churches from the Middle Ages in Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-has-been-recreated-at-the-trondenes-historical-center\">It has been recreated at the Trondenes Historical Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can and should see the church, which is only a short walk to the north of the center. The recreation at center is still worth a visit. The first thing that strikes you is the brilliant colours. Cobalt blue and bright red, among others, which one might find a little gaudy today. In the 15th century, however, the effects were not spared and the interior was a colourful performance for people who otherwise lived simple and poor lives. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Foto-Harriet-M.-Olsen-Sor-Troms-Museum-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Foto-Harriet-M.-Olsen-Sor-Troms-Museum-2-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Foto-Harriet-M.-Olsen-Sor-Troms-Museum-2-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Foto-Harriet-M.-Olsen-Sor-Troms-Museum-2-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Foto-Harriet-M.-Olsen-Sor-Troms-Museum-2-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Triptych from Kv\u00e6fjord church, to be seen in the Trondenes historic centre \u00a9 Harriet M.

Saint Olav is the focus of the altarpiece, surrounded by other popular saints from the time. The decor is elegant in the last flowering of the Gothic style before the Reformation took over. The statues of saints in Gothic style also originate from Kv\u00e6fjord Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-are-suddenly-surrounded-by-the-middle-ages\">We are suddenly surrounded by the Middle Ages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is always a difference between theory and practice. The aesthetically pleasing and well-explained exhibitions lead us to the harsh reality of farm life on the Trondenes medieval farm. The hens run wild here, sheep graze and Lame Haldor walks around repairing fences. Flax and herbs are grown, and there is a fire on the hearth in the \u00e5restua (open-hearthed house). This is how people lived 800 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/95A6156.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/95A6156.jpg\" alt=\"Jorunn runs the farm with a firm hand, as her husband is away at sea much of the time \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/95A6156.jpg\" data-caption=\"Jorunn runs the farm with a firm hand, as her husband is away at sea much of the time \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/95A6118.jpg\" data-size=\"1409x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/95A6118-768x436.jpg\" alt=\"Welcome to the middle ages \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/95A6118.jpg\" data-caption=\"Welcome to the middle ages \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/95A6141-2.jpg\" data-size=\"800x1200\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/95A6141-2-768x1152.jpg\" alt=\"Limp Haldor is often seen mending fences and other necessary jobs \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/95A6141-2.jpg\" data-caption=\"Limp Haldor is often seen mending fences and other necessary jobs \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Jorunn runs the farm with a firm hand, as her husband is away at sea much of the time \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Welcome to the middle ages \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Limp Haldor is often seen mending fences and other necessary jobs \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-trondenes-medieval-farm-was-a-larger-farm\">The Trondenes medieval farm was a larger farm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trondenes medieval farm belonged to the chieftain of Trondenes. Asbj\u00f8rn Selsbane lived here, but the farm was confiscated by the king as the region fell to Christianity. King Magnus gave the farm to the church in 1114. This meant that those who lived here after that were tenants who were trying to pay off a debt to the church by paying rent. The large farm is an indication that the local community of Trondenes must still be quite big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-earthen-houses-are-both-warm-and-pleasant\">Earthen houses are both warm and pleasant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The open-hearth building (<em>\u00e5restua<\/em>) is the beating heart of the farm. It was rebuilt on the floor plans of the ruins of several similar houses excavated around Trondenes. There are thick earth walls at the ends, and a large room clad on the inside with wood within a pole structure. The floors are made of wood. Wood floors were found in some of the excavated houses, but not all the houses had wood floors. The designers visited Iceland during its construction where people had lived in similar earthen houses until the early 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/87A7076.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/87A7076.jpg\" alt=\"In front of the main house \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/87A7076.jpg\" data-caption=\"In front of the main house \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/DSCF8086-Edit-2_Tommy_Simonsen_WEB.jpg\" data-size=\"800x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/DSCF8086-Edit-2_Tommy_Simonsen_WEB-768x768.jpg\" alt=\"Northern Lights over the main house at the mediaeval farm \u00a9 Harriet M.

Instead, you will see him repairing fences and doing other chores around the yard. Uncle Magnus is a &#8216;modern Viking&#8217; who fights and drinks and was once unlucky enough to have killed another man while drunk. Arne the Monk is an apprentice priest who brought new ideas about gardening to Trondenes after living at a monastery in the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-stave-church-rises\">The stave church rises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A stave church was erected on the farm in the summer of 2021. There was a stave church at Trondenes from the time of the visit of King Magnus in 1114. We have no idea what that church might have looked like, so the South Troms Museum chose to use Norway&#8217;s smallest preserved stave church from Haltdalen in South Tr\u00f8ndelag as a model. Much of the construction took place in Salangen, a region of vast forests, as was perhaps logical at the time as well. Then it was put together using traditional tools, with tongue and groove techniques. Nails are sparsely used \u2013 in ceilings and floors \u2013 as was common in the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/216417640_6640110672681456_31302084185661376_n.jpg\" data-size=\"802x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/216417640_6640110672681456_31302084185661376_n.jpg\" alt=\"The stave church is rising in the summer of 2021 \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/216417640_6640110672681456_31302084185661376_n.jpg\" data-caption=\"The stave church is rising in the summer of 2021 \u00a9 S\u00f8r-Troms museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/213450135_6607202325972291_2119320227560825533_n.jpg\" data-size=\"800x802\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/213450135_6607202325972291_2119320227560825533_n-768x770.jpg\" alt=\"The church is 100% traditionally built.

Nevertheless, it dominates the cultural landscape with its high-rising shape near the modest Viking home. The congregation stood during mass, which did not last long. Only the elders were allowed to sit on a bench. The church will be decorated and adorned in years to come to match the churches from the 13th century \u2013 full of incense, mystery and colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leeks-and-linen-are-women-s-work\">Leeks and linen are women&#8217;s work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An important chore for the women at the farm was linen cultivation. Flax is grown during the short summer season. The flax is harvested, followed by soaking, drying and a painstaking process of making linen threads. Finally, the threads were woven. There is also an herb garden with the plants that Arne the Monk brought from the monastery in the south. Watercress, <em>Angelica archangelica<\/em>, was a vegetable, medicine and a spice. Grubby Gunvor says the red oil from St. John&#8217;s wort comes from Odin&#8217;s blood, but Jorunn thinks it is from the baptism of John the Baptist. Caraway is good for urinary tract infections, sage helps women during childbirth and victory onions are good for toothache.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide

tourist office. If you drive yourself, there is good parking just outside the museum. We tried to go by e-bike from the Tourist Office, and that was GREAT fun. A walk will take you a good half hour, use the coastal path.

A marked historic trail takes you from the prisoner camp to various other sites, ranging from the Viking age to WWII. The church of Trondenes is a must. The giant Adolf Gun from WWII is inside the military fortress of Trondenes, and is only occasionally available these days.
