Folkestad Chapel


Folkestad Chapel is a chapel of the Church of Norway in Fjaler Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Våge in extreme western Fjaler. It is an annex chapel in the Fjaler parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden chapel was built in a long church style in 1913 by master builder Gerhard Folkestad. It was originally built as a prayer house.
In 1940, it was enlarged to 200 seats and it was consecrated for church use on 4 September 1940 by Bishop Andreas Fleischer. Prior to 1991, this chapel was part of the Askvoll municipality. After a municipal border change, the chapel is now part of Fjaler.
