A Walking Tour of Trondheim in Norway

Thomas Angell Stiftelser

On the Bispegate's right-hand side, look for a view of Trondheim's most elaborate baroque building, the Thomas Angell's Hus. Originally it was built in 1770, and was later extensively restored according to its original design in 1903. This house was conceived as a retirement home for indigent widows. Later on, its venue was expanded to allow widows to cohabit with well-recommended widowers outside the bounds of traditional marriages - a rather liberal 19th-century trend (of which many Trondheimers seem appropriately proud). There is also a pleasant garden in the building's interior courtyard, but visitation hours are irregularly scheduled, and the doors may be locked at the time of your visit. Now, continue walking west along the Bispegate.
