The 1681 Trondhjem fire started on 18 April 1681, in a building near Nidelva, an area of the city of Trondhjem, Søndre Trondhjems amt, Norway. Large parts of the city centre were destroyed, including the quay houses and Vår Frue Church.[1][2] Timber merchant Thomas Hammond perished during the fire.[3]
