STIKLESTAD NASJONALE KULTURSENTER

The Stiklestad Cultural Centre, opened in 1992, is designed as a walk through the history of King Olav. Born a pagan and baptized in Rouen, Olav Haraldsson, later called Olav the Saint, was the one who imposed Christianity in Norway by the force of his sword. Impressive re-enactments in an open-air theatre allow tourists to immerse themselves in this period and in particular in the great battle that took place on these now peaceful fields.
