Welcome to Stiklestad

Stiklestad is the battlefield where King Olav Haraldsson fell 29. July 1030, and he became known as St. Olav.


The battle of Stiklestad represents the introduction of Christianity in Norway. The battle and the saint king made it possible for Stiklestad to act as a symbol of both Christianity and the kingdom.
