Sjøholt
Sjøholt occupies the northern shore of Storfjorden in Møre og Romsdal. This compact settlement stands where the fjord country east of Ålesund leads toward the deep inlets of inner Sunnmøre, with steep, wooded mountains rising directly from the water. Sjøholt was the administrative centre of the former Ørskog municipality until Ørskog became part of Ålesund municipality in 2020. The European route E39 meets County Road 650 here, making the village an important road junction between Ålesund, the inner fjords and the mountain communities of Sunnmøre. Local settlement follows the shore and its transport corridors, while Storfjorden remains the defining line through the surrounding terrain.

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.
