About Ranheim
Where to stay in Ranheim
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Ranheim is residential and industrial. Beds here are scarce, so most visitors stay nearer central Trondheim and reach the eastern quarters by the roads and rail that run out from town. If you want a quiet base on the south-eastern side of Trondheim near Charlottenlund kirke, on the outer ground of central Norway (Trøndelag), this district suits you.
About Ranheim
What are the main landmarks in Ranheim?
Ranheim keeps few formal sights. Charlottenlund kirke anchors the parish on the eastern side of Trondheim, and the old industrial grounds give the quarter its working character. That is most of the named fabric here.
Visitors treat Ranheim as the south-eastern edge of greater Trondheim in central Norway rather than a destination, set out past Strindheim along the city's eastern reach.
What is the history of Ranheim?
Ranheim grew on the eastern shore-side ground of the city. It began as its own industrial settlement before being drawn into Trondheim kommune as the city reached east along central Norway (Trøndelag). Mills and works once set the pace.
Charlottenlund kirke marks the parish that formed here, and the name now holds the south-eastern quarter of Trondheim beside neighbouring Strindheim.
Where is Ranheim?
Ranheim lies in south-eastern Trondheim. The district runs along the outer reach of the city in central Norway (Trøndelag), east of the centre past Strindheim and within Trondheim kommune, where the local parish gathers around Charlottenlund kirke.
