List of churches in Møre
The list of churches in Møre is a list of the Church of Norway churches in the Diocese of Møre in Norway. It includes all of the parishes in Møre og Romsdal county. The Diocese is based at the Molde Cathedral in the city of Molde in Molde Municipality. The list is divided into several sections, one for each deanery (prosti; headed by a provost) in the diocese. Administratively within each deanery, the churches within each municipality elects their own church council (fellesråd). Each municipality may have one or more parishes (sokn) within the municipality. Each parish elects their own councils (soknerådet). Each parish has one or more local church. The number and size of the deaneries and parishes has changed over time.[1]
Molde domprosti
This arch-deanery (Norwegian: domprosti) is home to the Molde Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese of Møre. Molde domprosti includes all the parishes in the municipalities of Molde, Aukra, and Hustadvika, all of which surround the town of Molde in Molde Municipality where the deanery is headquartered. The deanery was established in the 19th century when the old Romsdal prosti was divided into Ytre Romsdal prosti (along the coast) and the Indre Romsdal prosti (inland parishes). This deanery was called Ytre Romsdal prosti and it originally included the parishes in Fræna, Molde, Midsund, and Aukra. The Diocese of Møre was established on 18 September 1983 and on that date, the church in Molde became the new seat of the diocese. After this, the Ytre Romsdal prosti was re-named Molde domprosti. On 1 January 2019, the churches in Eide Municipality were transferred from Ytre Nordmøre prosti to Molde domprosti in preparation for a municipal merger on 1 January 2020. On 1 January 2020, the municipality of Molde was enlarged so the parishes in the former Nesset Municipality (from Indre Romsdal prosti) were moved into the Molde domprosti.[2]
