2.4k Views 5 Comments

Trondheim occupies a special place in Norwegian history and culture. The city was founded by Viking King Olav Tryggvason in AD 997. Several historical battles fought here, including the battle between King Sverre and Erling Skakke, in 1179. The city has experienced several major fires – the most devastating in 1651 and 1681. The 1651 fire destroyed 90% of the buildings in Trondheim, and the 1681 fire led to a total reconstruction of the city. These stunning historical photographs show how Trondheim looked like at the end of the 20th century.

  4. Da disse bildene ble tatt, bodde min farfars farfar, Thomas Bryn (1813-1902), i Munkegt 17 sammen med sine to yngste barn (Marie og Kristian), en leietaker, en kokkepike og en stuepike. Han var stadsfysikus (fylkeslege) i Trondheim 1858-1890. Dette bildet er trolig tatt fra innsiden av Munkegt. 17 på 1890-tallet. Han sitter sammen med sin søster Fredrikke. Bildet bak ham er hans kone Christine Richter, som døde i 1869 etter sin tolvte fødsel.
