Tresfjord (village)

Tresfjord or Tresfjorden is a village in Vestnes Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The village is located at the southern end of the fjord, also named Tresfjorden. The village sits about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south of the large village of Vestnes. The river Tressa empties into the Tresfjorden at this village.

The 0.55-square-kilometre (140-acre) village has a population (2012) of 212, giving the village a population density of 385 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,000/sq mi). The village has a Tine dairy and some other small industries. The Tresfjord Church is an octagonal church dating back to 1828 and it has an altarpiece from the 14th century. There is also the Tresfjord Museum, an open-air museum with old houses and equipment from the village.

The European route E136 highway runs through Tresfjord, but in 2014 when the new Tresfjord Bridge opens, the highway will be re-routed over the fjord, rather than around the shoreline of the fjord, so the highway will no longer run through the village of Tresfjord.
