Welcome to Eidsvåg! The village is in the inner part of the municipality of Molde and was the administrative centre of the former Nesset municipality. Eidsvåg has good services with a nursery, school, volunteer service, and a care home. The village also has a village hall which is used for many different activities and offers many outdoor activities in the mountains and the fjord. If you wish to stop for a shopping trip, you will find everything you need in the shops in Eidsvåg; Bestes Bakery and café which sells traditional baked goods and quality food from local producers, the florists Botanic dream. If you are passing through and need to stop at a petrol station then at YX at Stubøkrysset you can fill both your tank and your stomach. In the centre of the village you can also find quick charging points for electric cars next to the Bunnpris supermarket. And if you require overnight accommodation then the Eidsvåg Fjord hotel is the place to stay. At Stubøen in Eidsvåg, right next to where the petrol station stands today, a nine year old Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson witnessed the last beheading in Romsdal. Bjørnson wrote about this event in «An ugly childhood memory». That beheading in 1842 made a lasting impression on Bjørnson and it took him nearly 50 years to write about that terrible childhood memory. ‘’I heard the captains terrible pistol, then a noise like chopping a giant turnip, when I looked back there was just a bone there and, a little way in front of the body was the head laying there gaping as if gasping for air”
