About Hinna
What are the main landmarks in Hinna?
Hinna kirke is the church at the heart of the district. It serves these southern streets of Stavanger, while Hillevåg kirke stands nearby on the way toward the next quarter and Hetlandshallen offers an indoor sports hall within reach. The list is short.
Most of the city's bigger sights lie north, back toward central Stavanger.
What is the history of Hinna?
The name long predates the suburb. Hinna gave its name to an old parish on the southern side of Stavanger before the city reached it, and the modern district grew over those fields as the Vestlandet port spread south past Hillevåg. Farmland turned to streets.
The parish church stayed on as a mark of the older settlement.
