The Byneset stone church – originally St. Michael's Church on Stein (Sancti Michaeli de Steini). Built by Archbishop Eystein probably 1170–80 and dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The steeple (built 1638) is as leaning as it looks. The church stands on (the farm) Stene on Byneset in the district of Trondheim, south-west of the town, overlooking the Orkdal fjord.

Byneset church on a very cold day in January. There is ice fog above the fjord, and now and then this fog rises to deposit the decoration on the trees.

Inside the church, on the north wall, a 500 years old drawing depicting The Seven Deadly Sins with links to corresponding body parts. After the Protestant Reformation in 1537 the Catholic wall 'decorations' were whitewashed. In recent times work has been going on to restore these paintings.

Partly restored drawing on the right wall in front of the nave – yes, it's the Devil at work. Usually this illustration is hidden behind a hymn board.
