Storsand in Melhus, Trøndelag, is a small village situated east of the Gaula River, just south of the main town of Melhus. It's a residential area with some industry, and in 2023 had a population of 477. Notably, the E06 highway and the Dovrebanen railway pass through it, and the historic Melhus Church is located there.

Melhus Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The nickname Gauldal Cathedral is not without reason. The church of Melhus is an imposing Neo-Gothic stone building from 1892. During the demolition of the medieval predecessor from the 12th century, a perfectly preserved stonemason's axe from around 1100 was found in a wall. The only known tool of its kind from that era in all of Norway. It is now in the Technical Museum in Oslo. Those who look closely can still discover runes from the Middle Ages at the portal.

Melhus

Highlight • Settlement

Through Melhus flows the Gaula, one of the world's most productive salmon rivers, but the real story of this municipality reaches deep into the Viking Age. The region was a powerful political center in ancient Trøndelag. Very close by, on the historic Rimul farm, the dramatic end of Håkon Jarl took place in 995, one of Norway's last pagan rulers, who hid there in a pigsty.
