What is the European Stone Festival?

from all over Europe to Trondheim, where they will have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and
creativity to a wide audience.
Since the festival took place for the first time at the end of the 1990s in Freiburg, it has become an
annual event and has been hosted by a variety of European countries.
Trondheim is closely associated with stone masonry through its world-famous Cathedral, Nidarosdomen.
The organiser of this year's festival will be the Restoration Workshop of Nidaros Cathedral.
