Øverdalen Church (Norwegian: Øverdalen kyrkje) is a parish church in Rauma Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Verma in the inner part of the Romsdalen valley. The church is part of the Øverdalen parish in the Indre Romsdal deanery in the Diocese of Møre. The white, wooden church was built in 1902 by the architect I.L. Krogseth. The church seats about 150 people. The church was built after a Royal Decree on 23 March 1901 which split up the old parish for the Romsdalen valley and created this new parish for the southern part and moved the Kors Church farther north to serve the central part of the valley.[1][2]
