Discover Stjørdal

Welcome to Stjørdal in Norway – a town in Trøndelag, where cultural heritage, modern architecture and scenic nature come together. Just 5 minutes from Trondheim Airport and about 30 minutes from Trondheim city centre by train or car, Stjørdal combines small-town warmth with a lively cultural scene.


History, culture and urban life


Stjørdal has deep historical roots, and the region’s heritage is reflected in its historic landmarks. Visit Værnes Church, a beautiful Romanesque stone church from the 12th century – one of Norway’s oldest still in use and a fine example of early medieval architecture. Nearby stands Hegra Fortress, where Norwegian volunteers held out against German forces during a 25-day siege in 1940 – today a national heritage site and a strong symbol of resistance. In the area you also find Steinvikholm Castle – a 16th-century island fortress built by Norway’s last Catholic archbishop, connecting visitors with the nation’s medieval past.
In town, post-war functionalism meets modern design at Kimen Kulturhus, a cultural landmark housing a theatre, cinema and library. And on your way to Trondheim, don’t miss Hell Station – the famously photogenic stop where the old freight building still bears the sign “Gods expedition.”


Nature and outdoor adventures


Beyond its rich history, Stjørdal also offers a landscape that invites exploration and outdoor experiences year-round. The Stjørdalselva River is one of Norway’s premier salmon rivers, ideal for fishing or stand-up paddling through tranquil valleys. For panoramic views of the fjord and valley, hike up Forbordsfjellet, a popular local peak easily reached from town. On warm days, Storvika Beach provides swimming and picnicking by the fjord, while Skarvan and Roltdalen National Park, east of town, invites exploration through vast, unspoiled mountain terrain on foot or skis. The nearby Trondheimsfjord and Frosta peninsula open up opportunities for coastal excursions, island-hopping and a visit to Tautra, known for its monastery ruins, calm scenery and bird sanctuary.


Restaurants and conferences


When in Stjørdal, you’re close to Trøndelag’s rich culinary traditions. Many also take the short trip into Trondheim for some of Norway’s most acclaimed restaurants and innovative dining experiences. Thanks to its proximity to Trondheim Airport Værnes, the area also serves as a natural hub for meetings and conferences, with modern conference hotels combining accommodation, dining and dedicated facilities – making it easy to bring together business, comfort and northern hospitality.
