Short description
Nidaros Domkirkes Restaureringsarbeider(NDR) [Nidaros Cathedral's Renovation Works] is a government agency that is a subsidiary to Kulturdepartementet [the Ministry of Culture].
NDR is a culture bearer for development of conservation-worthy craft and manages i.a. Nidaros Cathedral and the Archbishop's Palace complex, hereunder Kjøpmannsgt.1C, Grenaderen (Kongsgårdsgt. 1 A) and the Laboratory building (Schirmersgt. 5). The buildings that the contracting authority manages consist primarily of protected buildings and as a result of this are subject to special provisions set by various authorities.
Large parts of the current buildings under NDR's management have or are built on foundations from the middle-ages and are located in the automatically protected area ‘Trondheim Middle Ages Town’.
NDR wants to look at the possibility of renewing and developing parts of the property portfolio in order to better facilitate hiring out and own use. The buildings have major variation in history, aesthetics, materials and design. The newer buildings are also protected by individual order and award-winning for their architecture.
