About TIRC

Trondheim InterRail Centre is situated at the Student Society in Trondheim, "Samfundet".

The Student Society

It was founded in 1910, but it was not until 1929 the students aquired their very own house. Its strange shape and bright red colour gave the house its nickname: "The Red Round House". The interior is just as weird as its exterior. The house has more than 300 rooms. Although many people have tried to count them, nobody knows the number for sure.

What is so special?

The house is famous for its many bars and wild parties. Wander around late at night and you might just meet the live-in-ghost, S. Møller, a student who disappeard under mysterious circumstances after a rather happy evening in the 30´s.

The Student Society does not recieve financial support, thus is completely independent. More than 1200 people work here voluntarily and the Society has over 8000 members. It is the members that own the house, and only they decide what happens to it and in it.

TIRC - take a break

Trondheim InterRail Centre started up in 1992 by members of the Student Society, who did not like the fact that the house was practically deserted during the summer holiday. Thousands of guests later we hope that you will take a break and enjoy your time here in The Red Round House.
