History[]

The former court building at Kalvskinnet in Trondheim.

The Frostating court stems back to the traditional thing called the Frostating that was created in the mid-10th century. The current court was transformed from an assembly to a court during the Middle Ages. These courts have changed their names and locations over time and became pawns in the absolute monarchy. In 1797, courts of appeal were re-created to serve the nation, and in 1936 the current court system was introduced.^[1]
