Molde Municipality, Administrative municipality in Møre og Romsdal, Norway
Molde Municipality is an administrative division in Møre og Romsdal, Norway, extending along the coast with views over several fjords. The territory includes islands, mountains, and coastal settlements linked by roads and ferry connections.
The region developed from a farming area into a timber trade harbor during the 17th century, with trading privileges granted from that period. The municipality expanded considerably in 2020 by merging with two neighboring municipalities.
The area serves as the administrative seat for the entire territory, connecting several smaller settlements through local government services and public facilities. Many residents work in fishing, tourism, or the timber industry that has shaped the economy for centuries.
The main town sits along European route 39, which runs along the coast and provides access to most settlements in the area. The local airport and coastal ferry line offer connections to other parts of the country.
The area hosts a major jazz festival every July that draws musicians and visitors from across Europe. The event takes place at different venues throughout the municipality, filling streets and concert halls with music.
