Kristiansand

Kristiansand has served as a port and administrative centre in Agder since its founding by King Christian IV in 1641. The city stands where the Otra reaches Kristiansandsfjorden, with the island of Odderøya shaping part of its waterfront. In Kvadraturen, the central street grid created for the new town still defines the centre, while nearby Posebyen preserves one of northern Europe’s largest ensembles of low wooden houses. Kilden Performing Arts Centre on Odderøya is home to the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra and Agder Theatre.
