picture info	Veøya Veøya is an island in Molde Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located at a junction of the three main branches of Romsdal Fjord between the island of Sekken and the mainland near the village of Nesjestranda. The island was the municipal centre of the old Veøy Municipality. The island was Norway's first legally protected land, and the buildings on the island, including the Old Veøy Church, are now part of the Romsdal Museum. History The island was a strategic location for the coastal routes during the Viking Age. The southern branch of Romsdal Fjord leads to the Romsdalen valley (and the present-day town of Åndalsnes), where important trade routes led up the valley to Lesja. From there it followed the pilgrim trail over Dovrefjell to Trøndelag, or down the Gudbrandsdalen valley to Eastern Norway. The eastern branch led through the Langfjorden where they hauled their ships over the wide, low-lying isthmus at Eidsvåg, in order to avoid the dread ...

	Veøy Church Veøy Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Molde Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Sølsnes. It is the main church for the ''Røvik og Veøy'' parish which is part of the Molde domprosti (arch-deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The red, wooden church was built in a long church design in the dragestil style in 1907 by the architect Karl Norum. The church seats about 212 people. History Towards the end of the 19th century, the island of Veøya had long since been depopulated, with the exception of the clergy family and its household, so it was difficult to maintain a main parish church such as the Old Veøy Church on the island. In 1901, it was decided to take the island's medieval church out of use as a parish church and move the church site to Sølsnes on the mainland nearby. The new church was designed by the architect Karl Norum. The new building was completed and consecrated in 1907. Media gallery Veoy-church ...
