Sjøholt

Sjøholt has served as the administrative centre of Ørskog in Møre og Romsdal since the municipality was established in 1838. Now part of Ålesund municipality, the settlement stands on the shore of Storfjorden amid the steep, fjord-cut terrain of western Norway. Its position on the E39 gives it a practical role in regional road travel, while local life remains closely connected to the fjord. The white wooden Sjøholt Church, consecrated in 1863, is a lasting reminder of the community’s nineteenth-century development.
