It seems that this town is simply created for unhurried walks. The symbol of the city is a fountain called "The Girl with Roses”, which is located near the town hall. An interesting fact about Molde – you will really see so many roses in this town even though the climate here is rather severe. The sculpture in the center of the complex of fountains depicts a beautiful girl who is holding a large bouquet of roses. The fountain was opened in 1971.
The Cathedral, which can be found near a shopping square, is the most important architectural attraction of Molde. The height of the bell tower is 50 meters, so it is perfectly visible from all parts of the town. The cathedral was built in the middle of the 20th century, and this building was the work of the architect Finn Breen. Prior to that a small wooden church built in the 17th century was located in the place of the snow-white cathedral. The interior of the cathedral is no less elegant than its appearance.
