Molde Cathedral
Molde domkirke
A modernist brick cathedral rebuilt in 1957, with a freestanding bell tower that is a landmark of central Molde.
Molde Cathedral was built in 1957 after the original church on the site was destroyed by German bombing in 1940. The cathedral is modernist in style, with red-brick walls and a tall, freestanding bell tower. Its altarpiece, by Norwegian painter Axel Ende, was rescued from the old church. Next to the cathedral is the Town Hall Rose Garden on the roof, making it an easy stop on a walk through the town centre. Entry is free. Please keep quiet during services.
