Talk:Nidaros Cathedral

message: As quoted from article statements: 
"Built over the burial site of Saint Olav, the king of Norway in the 11th century"
and 
"Built into the south side of the ambulatory is a small well. A bucket could be lowered to draw up water drawn from the spring that originated from St. Olav's original burial place. (This was covered over by the construction of later cathedrals)."
Both statements appear dubious and unsourced. In the paper Arkeologi og myter: Om Nidarosdomens historie før 1200 (Archaeology and myths: The history of the Nidaros Cathedral before 1200) by Øystein Ekroll (in Hikuin, 33, Kirkearkæologi i Norden 8, Vestagder Norge 2004-2006, , p. 77-99, summary here: http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=18358761) the author (an expert in building arcaeology and working at the restauration team of the cathedral itself - see https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98ystein_Ekroll) demonstrates how these are popular but unsourced claims, probably originally stemmning from the wishful thinking and deliberate politics/propaganda of the local medieval clerics of the cathedral chapter. The author claims, based on the best written sources of the period, later scholars, new archaeological evidence and topographic studies, that King Olav was most likely buried - not at the site of the present medieval cathedral - but at a nearby riverbank just after his murder, and only later on moved to the present resting place (after its construction). 
The holy well (which was said to have sprung) at the supposed original burial place is still intact (according to the paper today it is a public fountain), but the well in the cathedral ('Olavsbrønnen') is much later, apparently made for the purpose, so as to live up to the supposed 'orginal death place of St. Olav' myth - who were really killed somewhere else in the vincity of the cathedral.

thread_title: Original Burial Place of Saint Olav - perhaps

message: Varg Vikernes was going to blow up the cathedral with 100kg of explosives.  I'm just wondering if maybe this should be mentioned in the article. Esn 11:36, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello
I'm wondering how high the Cathedral is, I cannot find it, no matter how much I search, I've been at norwiegean wiki(FA-class), swedish wiki, german wiki and the english one, where is this piece of information supposed to be? I believe, that wikipedia should give this sort of information(especially when it already states on the Uppsala Cathedral article clearly the height of the cathedral)

message: I'm sure the hordes of Asian tourists must have noticed it, I made sure the piss gathered in two enclaves close to the ground as much that it would have taken a few days for my urine to have evaporated. They should put some guards on this cathedral ... while I was pissing on it, people were "skating on it with bikes" in lack of better ways to express myself. While I hate christianity, this cathedral is a part of my cultural heritage, I wish they would have atleast a single guard patroling it. I wanted to run from a guard, but I was allowed to piss on it in peace.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.202.31.30 (talk) 19:05, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
