Regalia of Norway

The Norwegian crown jewels are the regalia of the Norwegian monarchy.

Consist of seven items, the Norwegian crown jewels: the crown of the Kingdom of Norway, the imperial sword, the royal scepter, the royal orb, the crown of the Norwegian queen, the crown of the crown prince and the royal horn. The collection also has various coronation robes, two banners and the throne.

The insignia for the Norwegian king in 1818 were made ​​for Charles XIV John. The coronation ceremony took place in 1818 in the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim instead. The insignia of the Norwegian Queen were acquired in 1839 for the planned coronation of Queen Désirée Clary. However, this coronation did not take place, but the queen crown was used for the coronation ceremonies of Louise of Orange-Nassau in 1860, for the coronation ceremony of Sophia of Nassau in 1873 and the coronation of Queen Maud of Great Britain and Ireland in 1906. At the coronation of Sonja of Norway in 1991, the Queen's crown was not related, but she was present.

All items of insignia was made ​​in Sweden - with the exception of the crown for the Norwegian Crown Prince, which was manufactured in 1848 in Norway, and the sword that was a gift from Charles XIV John of the Norwegian State.

The Crown Jewels are currently in Trondheim at the Archbishop's palace near the Nidarosdomes and in the Norges Bank in Trondheim.
