Christiansbjerg
8200 Aarhus N
Christiansbjerg is an established residential area with smaller mason's houses and terraced houses from the 30s and 40s, mixed with modern apartments and youth housing. In the older parts of the area, it is mainly inhabited by families who have lived there for a long time and for many from when they were young until they are now old.
For the 23.000 inhabitants, it is a residential area and if you fancy an evening out to eat, then it is to the center or one of the other nearby areas such as Risskov or Trøjborg. And if you need to get to the city centre, it's just on the bike and down the hill, and you're quickly in the city centre.
Katrinebjerg, also known as the IT city in Aarhus, is part of the district. Katrinebjerg is an innovative IT area and has become somewhat of an independent unit in the district.

The Finn houses
In a small area of Christiansbjerg is a cozy and idyllic area with just over 100 wooden houses. The so-called Finnehuses, which were built just after the war from wood from Finland. The houses were relatively cheap and quickly became popular to buy.
In addition to the fact that the wood for the houses came from Finland, all the street names are named after towns in Bornholm, such as Gudhjemsvej, Neksøvej and Åkirkebyvej. And you also get the feeling of a mini Bornholm when you walk around the idyllic neighbourhood.
