The Rønneberghaugen was a rocky hill in the Norwegian city of Alesund .

It was located in the area of ​​today's town hall district of the city and fell steeply to the north side. In 1951 the Kristofer Randers memorial was erected on Rønneberghaugen, but was later moved. From the 1950s onwards, hundreds of seagulls nested on the hill. In the 1970s, the rock was blasted in two steps, as the Ålesund Town Hall and the Kremmergaarden shopping center were to be built in its place . A small remnant was initially preserved and was still used intensively by seagulls, which was perceived as annoying. In 1983 the last part of the rock was removed.
