Tigerplassen: Moss - Østfold, Norway
Tigerplassen is best known in Norway for its position on Jeløya, the peninsula forming the western side of Moss beside the Oslofjord. This settled coastal area belongs to Moss, a port town on the outer section of the fjord, whose waters lead south towards the Skagerrak. Jeløya is defined by wooded slopes, residential streets and shorelines, giving this part of town a more coastal character than Moss’s commercial centre. Moss holds a distinct place in Norwegian history: the Convention of Moss, signed in August 1814, ended the brief war with Sweden and led into the union between the two kingdoms. The Oslofjord remains central to local identity, connecting Moss with the wider Oslo region by sea, road and rail.

Moss developed around industry and shipping, and the former mill district of Møllebyen remains a prominent reminder of that heritage, now housing cultural institutions and public spaces. The city is also tied to a decisive moment in 1814, when the Convention of Moss helped settle Norway’s union with Sweden. Mossesundet separates the mainland from the island of Jeløya nearby.
