The castle was built over seven years, from 1525 to 1532, by Norway's last Roman Catholic Archbishop, Olav Engelbrektsson.

History The castle was constructed at the instruction of Olav Engelbrektsson (c. 1480– 1538), Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Nidaros, Diocese of Nidaros. Co ...
