Information About

Nidaros




Nidaros is also the name of the Medieval Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese of Norway, which had suffragans in present-day Norway, Iceland , Greenland , Faroe Islands , Shetland Islands , Scotland and the Isle Of Man .

After the Catholic Archdiocese was abolished at the Protestant Reformation in 1537 , a Lutheran superintendanture, now diocese, with the name of Nidaros was erected in its place.

The city of Trondhjem actually changed its name back to Nidaros on January 1 1930 . After a fierce campaign among the citizens against the new name, the Norwegian Parliament changed its name to Trondheim on March 6 1931 .
