Støtter, en i 1710 og en i 1805. I Nærheden ligger
Stiklestad Hovedkirke, antagelig opført i det 12te
Aarhundrede. Fra Stiklestad har man en smuk Udsigt
over Værdalsbygden.

Fiskum. Kort før man kommer til Fiskum, passeres

Nordland.
Nordlands Amt bestaar af Søndre Helgeland,
Nordre Helgeland, Salten, Lofoten og Vesteraalen, med
ca. 100,000 Indbyggere.
Nordland omfatter den største og væsentligste Del
af det gamle Haalogaland, hvorom Navnet Helgeland,
Nordlands to sydligste Fogderier endnu minde. Man
har antaget, at Haalogaland var den af Nordmænd
først bebyggede Del af Norge. Vor ældre Historie
nævner det som Opholdssted for flere Stormænd, der
ved sin Optræden undertiden havde afgjørende
Indflydelse paa Begivenhedernes Gang. Her findes en
Mængde Gravhouge, Bautastene o. s. v., hvis nærmere
Granskning utvivlsomt vil kaste et nyt Lys over Egnens
gamle Historie. Endnu i Begyndelsen af det 12te
Aarhundrede fandt Magnus Barfods Sønner at burde
Four-sixths of the annual interest accruing from the
capital, are divided every year among certain specified
classes of necessitous people, the remaining two-sixths
being added to the capital: the latter, however, have
been devoted to the erection of several buildings and
institutions of public utility. Thomas Angell died in
1767, and was interred in a vault in the „Lagthing,"
or southern aisle of the cathedral. — The Bank of
Norway, founded by charter, June 14th 1816, is
located in Throndhjem, with branch offices in the largest
of the other towns. Five directors conduct the
business of the institution; the offices of the bank are in
a building at the corner of Kongens Gade and
Kjöb-mandsgaden.
The Trade and Shipping of the town would seen
to been steadily improving. A most important article
of export, which, even in ancient times, formed no
inconsiderable portion of the revenues of Throndhjem,
is copper from the Röros mines. Timber, oil, and
cured fish are also exported, the principal varieties of
the latter being „Törfisk" (dry fish), Klipfisk (fish dried
on the rocks, by exposure to the sun), and herrings.
The shipping of the city now amounts to about 100
ships, measuring close upon 5,000 Commercelasts; these
numbers include several large iron steamers. The
harbour of the port has been greatly improved of late
years, by the construction of a molo, or break-water.
— The following are the most important industrial
establishments: — A Dockyard; Trolla mills and
factory; a Foundry, connected with a boiler and an
engine factory; the Mills on the Nidelven, mechanical
