Singsaker is a residential district of southern Trondheim in central Norway, on the slope toward Tyholt.

About Singsaker

Where to stay in Singsaker

Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.

Singsaker is a quiet residential slope. Beds are limited among the villas, so many visitors base nearer central Trondheim and walk up to the heights. If you want a calm base on the southern slope below Tyholttårnet, near Bakke kirke and a short way from Nidarosdomen in central Norway (Trøndelag), this district suits you.

About Singsaker

What are the main landmarks in Singsaker?

Singsaker carries a handful of marks. The slim Tyholttårnet rises on the hill above the district, and the football ground at Rosenborgbanen sits within its streets. Down toward the river stand Bakke kirke and Bakke kloster.

A short way west the medieval Nidarosdomen anchors central Trondheim. The quarter reads as a calm residential part of the city in central Norway rather than a single sight.

What is the history of Singsaker?

Singsaker grew as villas climbed the hillside. Houses spread up the slope toward Tyholt as Trondheim expanded south and east across central Norway (Trøndelag), and the quarter settled into a leafy residential district within Trondheim kommune. It kept its calm.

Near its lower edge stand the old Bakke kirke and Bakke kloster, while the towering Tyholttårnet later rose on the height above the district.

Where is Singsaker?

Singsaker climbs the slope in southern Trondheim. The district rises east of the centre toward Tyholt in central Norway (Trøndelag), within Trondheim kommune, below the lattice of Tyholttårnet that stands on the hill above.
