A team of Johannus specialists recently installed a beautiful Monarke Präludium in the famous Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway.

Nidaros Cathedral (Norwegian: Nidaros Domkirke) is a Church of Norway cathedral located in the city of Trondheim.

Built over the burial site of Saint Olav, the king of Norway in the 11th century, who became the patron saint of the nation. It is the traditional location for the consecration of the King of Norway.

It was built from 1070 to 1300, and designated as the cathedral for the Diocese of Nidaros in 1152. After the Protestant Reformation, it was taken from the Roman Catholics by the Lutheran Church in 1537. It is the northernmost medieval cathedral in the world.

Two authentic pipe organs and a beautiful Monarke organ are installed in the cathedral. The old Baroque organ was built by Johann Joachim Wagner. The main organ was built by the Steinmeyer firm in 1930.

Because the main organ was being restored, the cathedral was looking for an organ powerful enough to support congregational singing.

After a thorough selection process, the cathedral chose for the best solution: a beautiful Monarke organ.
