About Tveit
What are the main landmarks in Tveit?
The parish church marks the heart of the quarter. Tveit kirke stands in the old church village of north-eastern Kristiansand, the focus of a district that stays rural and green rather than built up. Beyond it the open farmland and housing run out toward the kommune edge, with Korsvik and the inner districts of Kristiansand lying back toward the coast.
What is the history of Tveit?
Tveit was farm and parish ground long before the city reached it. Its old church village grew up around Tveit kirke, the parish centre that anchored the rural community in north-eastern Kristiansand before the municipality expanded to take it in. The land kept its open shape.
Over time it came into Kristiansand kommune as the city spread inland, a green, low-density slice of the wider municipality rather than a dense urban quarter.
Where is Tveit?
It lies inland from the centre. Tveit occupies north-eastern Kristiansand, a quarter of open farmland and housing that runs out beyond the inner districts toward the kommune edge and the neighbouring quarters of Korsvik and Kongsgård. The wider setting is southern Norway, on the Sørlandet coast within Kristiansand kommune, with the church village of Tveit kirke at its heart.
