Article History

Molde, town, western Norway. It lies along Molde Fjord, an inlet of the Norwegian Sea. A port since the 15th century, Molde was partially destroyed by fire in 1916, damaged during World War II, then rebuilt completely. During April 1940 it was the temporary home of the Norwegian government. Local industry includes fish export, textile mills, and furniture manufacture. Molde’s outstanding gardens have earned it the nickname “Town of Roses.” The town hosts a summer jazz festival. Pop. (2007 est.) mun., 24,254.
