The Ilen church was designed by the architect Eugène Sissenére in neo-gothic style, built in stone with a wooden roof and consecrated on 7 June 1889. The organ dates from the same year as the church and was built by the Dane Claus Jensen from Schleswig-Holstein.

The hospital church, with its characteristic tower and roof, stands out well from the old town on Hospitalsløkkan. It was built in 1705 and replaced an earlier medieval church on the same site. It is one of the first octagonal-plan churches in Norway, designed by Johan Christoffer Hempel of the Reformed Netherlands.
Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim is the most important church in Norway being the burial place of its patron saint: St. Olav. Built from the 11th to the 14th century, in Romanesque and Gothic style, it suffered extensive damage during a fire in 1531 but was completely rebuilt and served, until 1908, as Norway's coronation church.
The Church of Our Lady of Trondheim is a long stone church dating from around 1200. The church was rebuilt after fires in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Among other things, the nave was enlarged in 1686 and the present tower was built in 1742. The choir and the eastern part of the nave are remains of the original building.
