About Tiller
Where to stay in Tiller
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Tiller is a mixed outer quarter. Beds cluster near the retail grounds rather than in the city core, so many visitors base themselves closer to central Trondheim and drive out to the south-western slopes. If you want a quiet base near Heimdal kirke and Rostenhallen, on the inland ground of central Norway (Trøndelag) south-west of the centre, this district suits you.
About Tiller
What are the main landmarks in Tiller?
Tiller carries a few named places. Heimdal kirke serves the parish on the rising ground south-west of central Trondheim, while Rostenhallen draws crowds to indoor sport and the retreat house Birgittaklosteret i Trondheim keeps a quieter corner. None of these makes Tiller a single sight.
The district reads as the south-western quarter of Trondheim in central Norway, useful for its position rather than a centre of its own.
What is the history of Tiller?
Tiller was chartered in the 19th century, in 1899. It began as its own ground south-west of the old town and was later folded into Trondheim kommune as the city reached out across the slopes of central Norway (Trøndelag). Growth followed the railway and the roads toward Heimdal.
The retreat house Birgittaklosteret i Trondheim and the indoor arena Rostenhallen stand among the buildings that mark the district within greater Trondheim.
Where is Tiller?
Tiller lies in south-western Trondheim. The district spreads across the inland slopes of central Norway (Trøndelag), south of the city centre on the rising ground around Heimdal, set within Trondheim kommune well back from the Nidelva and the fjord.
