Inside, the choir is decorated with the fresco “The Sword and the Lily” (Battle of Stiklestad). In the church, behind the altar, there is a stone that, according to tradition, is the stone on which Olav lay or leaned at the moment of his death, and thus became a place of pilgrimage.

It is likely that a wooden church stood in Stiklestad before the stone church was built. According to tradition, the church was built over the altar, which is believed to have been the place where Olav Haraldsson fell during the battle on July 29, 1030.

The chapel is a Russian Orthodox church building that was consecrated in 2003. Originally, the chapel was a log cabin from Folldal from the mid-18th century. It belonged to the Orthodox monk Father John Føien and was located on his farm in Folldal. Saint Olav the Holy was canonized in 1031, before a major schism in the church in 1054. Therefore, he is also considered a saint in Russian Orthodox history.

Unfortunately, there was no wood. The meadows around are muddy and hardly suitable for camping. Without a free-standing tent it will be difficult, but you can hammer tent pegs between the planks of the wooden platform.

As mentioned, there is everything you need after a busy day, highly recommended :)

Wild camping spot on a lake with fishing opportunities (with a license that can be purchased). There is a decent dry toilet, benches, a fire pit and wood. We recommend

On the back of the altar (below the altar) is the stone that Olav leaned against when he died. It is said that touching it brings good luck.

Munkeby Monastery dates back to around the 1140s. The monastery ruins have not been fully excavated. The ruins show the typical shape of a Cistercian church in the form of a cross. Away from the ruins is a toilet.
