Description:
In the heart of town near Torget, Molde Cathedral, created by architect Finn Bryn in 1957, is the largest postwar cathedral in Norway and the third church to rise on this site. The old altarpiece, Resurrection, by Axel Ender, is from the church that the Nazis bombed in April 1940 when they learned that the king was escaping from Molde. As the bombs were falling, a local patriot ripped out the painting with a knife and managed to save it from the Nazi fire.
