OUR HERITAGE
Few places in Scandinavia have been populated as long as the Kristiansand region – nearly 9,000 years. Although this was likely not a settlement, but isolated groups of people, it did lay the way for habitation beginning c. 400 AD in the Lund suburb of the what is now Kristiansand, with dozens of cooking pits that are probably even older.
With this brings a long history – a long collective memory that shapes the lives and feeling here in the deep south of the country. It is a feeling that must be experienced to be understood.
