Høyanger Church


Høyanger Church is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Høyanger Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Høyanger. It is the church for the Høyanger parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, concrete church was built in a long church style in 1960 using designs by the architects Arnstein Arneberg and Olav Platou. The church seats about 374 people.

History

The church was consecrated on 11 September 1960 by the Bishop Ragnvald Indrebø. The Norsk Aluminium Company was responsible for the construction and gave the church for free to the community. The Mayor Albert Hellem thought that the church's gift was the greatest thing that had happened to Høyanger, second only to the actual start of the industry.
