also THRONDHJEM, a port of Norway, on the S. side of the long and narrow Trondhjem fjord; at the mouth of the little Nid river; 250 miles N. of Christiania. It is built on undulating slopes, and has regular and broad streets, the houses being mostly of wood, though the building of new wooden houses is now forbidden by law. The (fortified) harbor is capacious, deep, and safe, but is difficult of entry. The most interesting building in the city is the venerable cathedral, a cruciform church dating partly from the 13th century, of English-Norman architecture, and unquestionably the most interesting ecclesiastical edifice in Norway. A great fire in 1530 destroyed most of the church except the richly adorned octagonal choir (late Gothic). The church, since since 1818 the place of coronation of Norwegian kings, has been carefully restored since 1880. Portions of an old archiepiscopal palace (Kongsgaard) also survive. The town is the main emporium of a wide district of country, and has a large trade by sea and land; the exports include copper ore, herrings and other fish, train oil, timber, etc. The ancient capital of Norway, originally called Nidaros, Trondhjem was founded in 996 by Olaf Trygvason, and became in 1152 the seat of an archbishop. Its decline dates from the Reformation. It was taken by the Swedes after a siege of nine weeks, and has often been nearly destroyed by fire. Pop. about 45,000.

tron'jem, the ancient capital of Norway. It is situated on a peninsula formed by a deep fjord and the River Nid. It is situated on the western coast of Norway. Latitude, 63 degree 27' N. The river is seldom frozen over; the fjord never. The city is said to have the climate of southern England in summer and that of Dresden in winter. Population, 38,000. The city is built largely of wood. To avoid the spread of fire, the streets are wide. Large warehouses are built on piles driven in the river. The central feature of the city is the cathedral, the largest church building in Scandinavia. It is a combination of Romanesque and Gothic. It was founded over the tomb of St. Olaf. The building has been injured by fire repeatedly. In 1531 it was burned down, but was rebuilt. It was injured again in 1719. In 1869 a complete restoration was begun. The work in 1909 is still going on, at the expense, it may be said, of the state. By the constitution of Norway the kings must be crowned here. As might be expected Trondhjem is a city of culture. It possesses an academy of science, a library of 70,000 volumes, large natural history collections, and a museum of antiquities.
