Leksvik

Leksvik is a former municipality located in Trøndelag county, Norway. It was established as a municipality in 1838 and encompassed a significant coastal area. The municipality's administrative center was the village of Leksvik, situated on the western side of the Trondheimsfjord. Historically, the economy of Leksvik was largely based on agriculture, fishing, and forestry. Over time, industry, particularly furniture manufacturing, also became important.

In 2020, Leksvik municipality was merged with Rissa municipality to form the new Indre Fosen municipality as part of a nationwide municipal reform. This merger aimed to create larger, more efficient administrative units. The area formerly known as Leksvik now constitutes a part of Indre Fosen, retaining its geographical identity and many of its historical characteristics. The landscape of Leksvik is typical of coastal Norway, featuring fjords, hills, and agricultural land. The region offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing.
