Engene Church
Engene Church is a parish church in Arendal municipality in Agder county, Norway. It is located in the village of Nedenes. It is the church for the Øyestad parish which is part of the Arendal prosti in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden church was originally built in 1849 using designs by the architect Wilhelm Hanstein, however, at that time, it was located in the nearby town of Grimstad and it was called Grimstad Church. In 1881, the town had grown and the church was too small, so it was disassembled and moved to nearby Nedenes and rebuilt in 1882 as the new "Nedenesengene Church", but it was later shortened to simply "Engene Church". The church seats about 480 people.
