Oppdøl sjukehus, Psychiatric hospital in Hjelset, Molde Municipality, Norway
Oppdøl sjukehus is a psychiatric hospital in Molde Municipality composed of several buildings set in a rural landscape. The facility provides mental health treatment and inpatient care for patients from the surrounding region.
The hospital was founded in 1913 as a rural asylum and received its first major expansion in 1925 with new departments. Additional buildings were added during the interwar period and again in 1961.
The hospital maintains a balance between traditional Norwegian healthcare practices and modern psychiatric treatment methods within its medical departments.
The hospital is best reached by car since it is located in a rural area outside the main town. Visitors should arrange visits in advance as this is an active treatment facility with restricted access.
In December 2014, the Norwegian Minister of Health selected Oppdøl as the location for the new unified hospital serving the entire Nordmøre and Romsdal region.
