What are the main landmarks in Nidarvoll?
Churches stand among the works. Tempe kirke serves the flat ground of the southern city near the workshop district, while Hoeggen kirke sits up the slope toward the housing at Nardo. Sport fills the gap.
The football field at Sorgenfri gressbane gives the area a green clearing between its streets and depots, one of the few open marks in a quarter that is more about the everyday south side of Trondheim than about grand sights.
What is the history of Nidarvoll?
Nidarvoll grew on the southern flat. The low ground of the river plain south of Trondheim drew workshops, depots, and housing as the city pushed outward from its old core. Use shaped the place.
The works and yards gave Nidarvoll its practical character, with Tempe kirke and the field at Sorgenfri gressbane marking the streets, while the residential growth toward Nardo above filled out the southern edge of the city around Hoeggen kirke.
