About Korsvik
What are the main landmarks in Korsvik?
A church and a sports park anchor it. Søm kirke and the Sukkevann Idrettspark sit among the streets of eastern Kristiansand, a parish church and sports park that give the residential district its focus. Beyond them the housing runs out toward Søm and Tveit, while the inner districts of Kristiansand lie back toward the coast within Kristiansand kommune.
What is the history of Korsvik?
Korsvik filled in as Kristiansand spread east. The ground beyond the inner districts took on streets and housing as the city grew across the surrounding kommune, the quarter settling into a residential shape alongside Søm. Local institutions followed.
Søm kirke and the Sukkevann Idrettspark came to serve the everyday life of eastern Kristiansand, the kind of church and sports grounds that mark a suburban quarter rather than a historic centre.
