Joranger Church (Norwegian: Joranger kyrkje) is a parish church in Luster Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Joranger. The church is part of the Fet og Joranger parish in the Indre Sogn deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church, which has 85 seats, was probably built in the 1620s, but 1660 has historically been considered to be the construction date. The church has a unique, large, octagonal shaped steeple that is not in proportion with the rest of the small building.^[1][2][3]
