12th century that are so common in Denmark and southern
Sweden.

In the buildings of the west and north country, the chancel
generally terminates squarely, and apses become less and less
frequent the farther north we go.

Of all the churches that were built at this time in Bergen,
only the nave, towers and westernmost bay of the choir of St.
Mary’s Church are left. This is the only basilica existing in
Norway with nave and aisles, that has square pillars; it has two
west towers, and gives evidence throughout rather of northern
French, than of English influence. The choir was enlarged in
the first half of the 13th century by two eastern bays in fine
Gothic with lancet lights. Among other west-country churches
belonging to this period, may be named the beautiful aisleless
buildings at Talgø in Ryfylke, and Hove in Sogn.

Trondhjem Cathedral.


The late Norman style represented in Trondhjem and the
Trondhjem district is without doubt the richest.
