Stangvik: Neslandet
Among the settlements of Møre og Romsdal, Stangvik stands out for its position on Ålvundfjorden, where cultivated shoreland meets wooded hills and deep fjord water. The village belongs to the wider Nordmøre fjord district, a coast shaped by narrow inlets, small farms and forested ground descending to the water. This is a settled rural shore rather than an urban centre, with homes and working land distributed along the bays. Stangvik Church, a wooden church dating from 1784, provides a link to the parish’s long local history. Stangvik was also the administrative centre of the former Stangvik municipality, which existed until 1965. The fjord remains the defining element of the area’s geography and everyday setting.
