About Landås
What are the main landmarks in Landås?
Churches mark the slopes. Landås holds Landås kirke, Slettebakken kirke and Fridalen kirke spread across the south-eastern part of Bergen, with the Sofus Madsen Skulpturmuseum adding a smaller draw nearby. The playing fields at Nymarksbanene give the neighbourhood its open green below Ulriken.
What is the history of Landås?
This was the last corner to fill in. Landås was the final part of the historic Aarstad Municipality to be urbanised, with most of its building taking place after World War II as the city pushed south-east below Ulriken in western Norway (Vestlandet). The campus came with it.
The Faculty of Education of Bergen University College and the Grieg Academy stand here as part of that post-war chapter.
Where is Landås?
The mountain rises right behind it. Landås lies on the western side of the Ulriken massif in south-eastern Bergen, running from near Haukeland University Hospital down toward Nattland in western Norway (Vestlandet), with neighbouring Kronstad and Minde a short way off. It sits squarely within the city.
