Tiller, Trondheim — Area Guide & Where to Stay

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 a municipality of its own from 1899 until 1964, south-west of the old town, and was then 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.
