Steinvikholm Castle (Norwegian: Steinvikholm slott) is an island fortress on the Skatval peninsula in the present-day Stjørdal Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The castle was built over seven years, from 1525 to 1532, by Norway's last Roman Catholic Archbishop, Olav Engelbrektsson. Steinvikholm castle became a powerful fortification by the time it was built, and it is the largest construction raised in the Norwegian middle ages.

The siege of Steinvikholm was a siege of Steinvikholm Castle in Stjørdalen, Norway (in the Skatval area in the present day Stjørdal Municipality). The siege was between the forces of the Catholic Deacon Knud Pederson Skanke and noble Tord Roed. The siege started in April after the Archbishop of Norway Olav Engelbrektsson had fled the country. The protestant forces laid siege to the castle and did a naval blockade of the fjord. The defenders fired their canons at the besiegers day and night, and refused several request to surrender to the protestant forces. But the defenders surrendered on 17 May. The reason was that the defenders heard a rumour that the noble Truid Ulfstand was on his way to Trondheim from Denmark with a force of 1500 men. The defenders stipulated for there surrender that; non of the defenders where to be punished after the surrender, and be pardoned for there involvement in the rebellion. Knud Pederson Skanke was to keep all his possessions he had at the castle, and keep his position as deacon.

Forbordsfjellet is a mountain in Stjørdal Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The 590-metre (1,940 ft) tall mountain lies directly to the north of Trondheim Airport, Værnes and the town of Stjørdalshalsen and about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) northeast of the village of Skatval. There is a toll road to the summit from European route E6 near Skatval Church. Forbordsfjellet is also used for paragliding. IL Fram organizes a 4.8-kilometre (3.0 mi) long backhill race that starts at Skatval Church and has a finish at the top of the mountain. Many tourists and residents come to the top to look at the views of the lower Stjørdalen valley, the Åsenfjorden, and towards Trondheim. The name comes from the little farming village of Forbord, located west of the mountain. The name Forbord supposedly means "at the foot of the mountain". Thus, the name Forbordsfjellet can, oddly enough, be translated into "at the foot of the mountain-mountain". The solution to this logical problem may be that the hamlet at the foot of the mountain may have been named Forbord first, but when the locals forgot the name of the mountain, they simply called it Forbordsfjellet, meaning the mountain at Forbord. There are no other known names on the mountain. A popular destination for hiking is Svartkamhytta.
