Kristiansten Fortress is an important part of the City of Trondheim's identity, and an area with excellent environmental qualities. Kristiansten Fortress is often used for various cultural events and the city's inhabitants use the area for recreational purposes. On the night of 19 April 1681, Trondheim experienced the biggest and most destructive of many town fires. Afterwards, King Christian V asked Major General Jean Caspar de Cicignon and his chief of staff Quartermaster General Anthony Coucheron to prepare a new plan for the city and its fortification. A completely new network of streets was built, with wide streets in accordance with the Baroque ideal and fortifications around the city centre. The result was a fortress town based on the Continental model, surrounded by fortified ramparts to the south and west, and with two tower fortresses – Munkholmen out on the fjord to the north of the city and Kristiansten, on a hill above the city . Kristiansten was completed in 1684.

The fortress stands on the hill not far from city centre. To get there some steep streets "climbing" is needed. There is a free and unique bicycle/scooter lift which takes the rider some streets up. The fortress is full of cannons in their positions, and the tower accommodates a museum on its floors. A memorial place to Norwegian Resistance fighters shot by the Nazis in WWII is inside the fortress. There are explanations in Norwegian and English. A good view to the city and the toilets are free as well.

Hyttklokka is positioned at the top of Morkstugata, in proximity to Malmplassen. Hyttklokka was used to notify workers at the smelthytta(smelter hut) when work started and finished. The bell was probably also used as an alarm, to warn of fires, for example. If you take a photo of Hyttklokka with the church in the background, you will have captured the classic Roros setting.
