Lade, Trondheim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lade (Norse: Hlaðir) is a location in Trondheim, Norway located north-west of the city centre, north of Lademoen on a peninsula. The area is dominated by suburban housing, superstores, industry and some recreational areas, and is zoned for high car access. The area was the seat of the Jarls of Lade that ruled Trøndelag and Hålogaland between the 9th- and 11th century
Three secondary schools are located at Lade, Ladejarlen Secondary School, Lade Secondary School and Ringve Secondary School. The latter is in close to Ringve Museum and Ringve Botanical Garden. Lade also features the grand farm Lade Gård that has been converted from the seat of the Ladejarl to the corporate headquarters of Reitangruppen. Other institutions located at Lade include the shopping centre City Lade and the Norwegian Geological Survey.
Lade is separated from Lademoen by the railway line Nordlandsbanen, but there are no train stations that give good access to Lade by the commuter train Trønderbanen. In 1958 a tramway, Ladelinjen, was built to Lade, but was closed with the rest of the Trondheim Tramway in 1988. Part of this tramway can still be seen, as sections were never removed.
