About Fjell
Where to stay in Fjell
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Base yourself here for quiet ground. Fjell is a calm residential corner of Drammen, away from the busier river districts but close enough that Strømsø and the city centre across in Bragernes are an easy run downhill. If you want a settled hillside base in southern Drammen with Fjell kirke as your landmark, this part of Drammen kommune suits a longer, slower stay.
About Fjell
What are the main landmarks in Fjell?
Fjell kirke is the landmark to find. The church marks the heart of this hillside district in southern Drammen, a short way above the city's older quarters. From the slope the river districts of Strømsø and Bragernes lie below, and neighbouring Austad sits just to the east across Drammen kommune.
What is the history of Fjell?
Fjell grew as Drammen spread uphill. Once farmland on the slopes above the valley floor, the district filled in as housing climbed away from the riverside cores of Strømsø and Bragernes. Its parish church, Fjell kirke, anchors the quarter and gives the southern Drammen neighbourhood its centre within Drammen kommune.
Where is Fjell?
The ground climbs here. Fjell occupies southern Drammen, a hillside quarter that looks down toward the older river districts of Strømsø and Bragernes and sits west of Austad, all within Drammen kommune in south-eastern Norway.
