Nopeat faktat: The cathedral draws around 700,000 visitors annually, making it Norway's most frequented church. Its west front features 11 meters wide sculptures depicting biblical scenes and local legends.
Kohokohdat: An underground crypt houses the shrine of St. Olaf, whose remains turned the site into a medieval pilgrimage spot. Visitors often stand in awe at the intricate stained glass windows, some dating back to the 14th century, casting colorful patterns on the stone floors.
