Domkirkeodden

About

Here you will find the ruins of the medieval cathedral and the bishop's residence from the 13th Century on the beautiful Museum grounds on the outskirts of Hamar. The museum is comprised of archaeological exhibitions, a botanical garden and an outdoor museum with about 60 buildings from around Hedemarken County. The cathedral ruins are protected by a much-discussed protective structure in glass and steel, called Hamardomen, which is an attraction in itself. The main museum is Storhamarlåven by world famous architect Sverre Fehn. Open every day in summer season. Groups all year when booked in forehand. Singing guides whom may give you the goosebumps during a musical tour. Small but cosy museum shop for gifts or sweets. Large park perfect for picknick and play, may be combined with a swim in the Lake Mjøsa.
