Molde Municipality, Administrative municipality in Møre og Romsdal, Norway
The municipality stretches along the Romsdal Peninsula, encompassing the Fannefjord and Moldefjord with numerous settlements across its varied coastal terrain.
Established around 1600, the region evolved from a farming area into a timber trading port, receiving formal trading rights before 1604.
The municipality manages the annual Moldejazz festival in July, recognized as one of the largest jazz events across Northern Europe.
The territory connects to other regions through European route E39, Molde Airport, and daily Hurtigruten ferry services along the Norwegian coast.
The municipal government merged with Midsund and Nesset municipalities in 2020, expanding its territory to include multiple fjords and mountain ranges.
