List of churches in Nidaros
This list of churches in Nidaros is a list of the Church of Norway churches in the Diocese of Nidaros in Norway. It includes all of the parishes in Trøndelag county. The diocese is based at the Nidaros Cathedral in the city of Trondheim in Trondheim Municipality. The list is divided into several sections, one for each deanery (prosti; headed by a provost) in the diocese. Administratively within each deanery, the churches within each municipality elects their own church council (fellesråd). Each municipality may have one or more parishes (sokn) within the municipality. Each parish elects their own councils (soknerådet). Each parish has one or more local church.[1] The municipality of Trondheim includes several deaneries within the municipality due to its large population. The number and size of the deaneries and parishes has changed over time. In 1995, the old Sør-Fosen prosti was merged with Orkdal prosti and on the same date the old Nord-Fosen prosti was renamed simply Fosen prosti. On 1 July 2015, the Nærøy prosti, which included Leka Municipality, Vikna Municipality, and Nærøy Municipality, was merged with the Namdal prosti. On 1 January 2020, the old Nord-Innherad prosti and Sør-Innherad prosti were merged to form the new Stiklestad prosti.
