The Trondenes church is the northernmost medieval church in the country. It was built in the first half of the 15th century. The church is monumental with a high rectangular nave and a narrower, straight choir. The portals are pointed arched with a rich soapstone decoration. In the Middle Ages, a high surrounding wall with two defensive towers surrounded the church. The particularity of the church of Trondene lies in the three altarpieces in the choir dating from the late Middle Ages. They were made in Lübeck in the second half of the 15th and early 16th centuries.
