The problem, most likely (beware of remote diagnostics), is condensation (cooking, warm air) and a cold corner (exterior walls, "old" house).

There are really only two reasonable options:

1. complete exterior insulation (expensive)

2. remove the interior plaster in the affected corner, glue special boards for interior insulation (see above -> "climate boards"), and then re-plaster.

Any other option would be a real "sucker," and I'm afraid it will get moldy again sooner or later.

P.S.: There are special paints that contain mold protection. I used it to repair a corner in my rental apartment 10 years ago, and it worked well for 5 years. I don't know if it would work on the scale of your home.
