Stiftsgården
Stiftsgården is one of the largest wooden buildings in Scandinavia and has been the official residence of the Norwegian king in Trondheim since 1906 .
The house was built in 1774–78 as a private apartment for Privy Councilor Cecilie Christine Schøller. In 1800 Schøller's grandson, Stie Tønsberg von Krogh, sold the property to the state. Until 1906 the monastery bailiff lived here, ie the highest administrative officer of the monastery or diocese. Since the coronation of King Carl III. Johan 1818 in Nidaros Cathedral the celebrations in connection with the coronation or blessing of the new king take place here. In connection with the coronation of King Haakon and Queen Maud in 1906, Stiftsgården became the king's official residence in Trondheim. The building is considered to be one of the main structures in Norwegian architecture. In terms of style, the palace is somewhere between Rococo and Classicism . The palace also includes a rococo-style park based on drawings by Johan Daniel Berlin , originally a garden. The extraordinarily diverse Berlin is believed to be the architect of the building. Stiftsgården is comparable to Monrepos (Wyborg) .
