Districts of Trondheim
A brief presentation of the various districts of Trondheim
Leiv Eriksson is overlooking Trondheim Fjord and Munkholmen from his location at Brattøra.
The statue was a gift from the Leif Ericson Society, American descendants of Scandinavian emigrants, for the millenium celebration of Trondheim in 1997.
The original statue resides in Seattle, WA.
The Skansen railway bridge opened in 1918 and was designed by Joseph B. Strauss, who also designed The Golden Gate.
The bascule bridge is one of the few bridges left in the world with similar design and construction.
Skansen bridge is now conserved by the Norwegian Directorate of Cultural Heritage

In the late 1960's, Trondheim was ready to expand and needed affordable housing.
Motivated by finding "the most beneficial plan of area development with focus on the size and financial requirements of the Norwegian State Housing Bank", the architects Brantenberg and Hiorthøy's proposal won the County's attention.
The area opened in the early 1970's, with more than 1100 affordable housing units.
It is estimated that around 2500 people live in Risvollan today in 2012.
An essential part of a cultural experience in Trondheim, the Dahl's Beer has been brewed in the city since 1856.
The brewery was established by Erich Christian Dahl at a different location, but relocated to the current location in 1984.
