Kistrand Church
Kistrand Church is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Porsanger Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Kistrand. It is the main church for the Porsanger parish which is part of the Indre Finnmark prosti in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1856 by the architect Christian Heinrich Grosch. The church seats about 160 people.
The church was originally painted red but was painted white first time in 1883, when the church was renovated after hurricane damage. During the war years of 1944–1945, the church was used as a German command center, quarters for Norwegian forces, and a makeshift accommodation for civilians.
