Highlights of Molde
Moderate Activity
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
What you will visit:
The Romsdal Museum (with folk dancing)
One of the most comprehensive folk museums in Norway, the open-air Romsdal Museum, established in 1912, displays buildings and interiors of pre-World War II houses that celebrate the history and architecture of the region. Stroll down a typical town street and explore the surrounding greenspace centered on a tranquil duck pond. A real treat is watching the local school children perform folk dances in their national costumes.
Molde Church
One of Molde's most famous landmarks, constructed in 1957, the gothic-style Molde Cathedral boasts a gabled roof with a freestanding bell tower and brightly colored stained-glass windows. The elegant interior is home to a wooden cross and Norwegian artist Axel Ender's "Easter Morning" altarpiece, both of which were rescued from the flames of the two previous churches that burned down on this site.
What you will see along the way:
Molde is a charming fjord town established in the 15th century, with wonderful local color and picturesque views of 222 mountain peaks. Much of the city's architecture is modern, including the Aker football stadium and the dramatic glass Scandic Seilet Hotel. But there are quaint squares and historic buildings, including the Molde Cathedral, as well. Nicknamed the Town of Roses, Molde's charms are as plentiful as the fragrant gardens that bloom throughout the city.
