Tinghaugen
Situated along St. Olavsleden
Tinghaugen, from the Old Norse words þing (meaning assembly) and haugr (meaning hill), is in close proximity to the medieval church at Logtun. On this ancient site has been market by Frostatinget boulder.
The frosting was arguably the oldest court and the largest of the four medieval law assemblies in Norway and has a nearly thousand-year history of law and justice!
Every summer, 485 delegates met at the Frostatinget in Frosta in North-Trøndelag to create laws and regulations, enforce and judge by the same laws. It was certainly a lively atmosphere through nearly 1,000 years in medieval Norway. Delegates came to the Frostatinget already from around 600 AD, perhaps perhaps as early as the year 400.
