Høyanger Church (Norwegian: Høyanger kyrkje) is a parish church in Høyanger Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Høyanger. The church is part of the Høyanger parish in the Sunnfjord deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.[1][2]
The white, concrete church, which has 374 seats, was consecrated on 11 September 1960 by the Bishop Ragnvald Indrebø. The architects Arnstein Arneberg and Olav Platou made the designs for the church. The Norsk Aluminium Company (NACO) 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.[3]
