Gomalandet
0
We are now sailing under the Nordsund Bridge, with Gomalandet to the west and Nordlandet to the east. Gomalandet is the district of industry and workers. Since the 1800s, it has been home to shipyards, fish processing plants, and mechanical workshops. Today, modern businesses stand alongside old warehouses, and this is where many of the city's new housing projects and developments are taking shape. The name Gomalandet comes from the nearby Goma River, and just beside it lies Kristiansund Stadium, the home ground of Kristiansund Ballklubb, which has played in Norway’s top football divisions for several years. Gomalandet also played a vital role in the city's resistance history, as many locals were involved in underground activities during the war. Today, the area is undergoing change, with new neighborhoods and improved connections to the rest of the city. As we now glide beneath the bridge, you see a district that has always been alive with activity and is now building a new future, stone by stone.
