Otrøy Church (Norwegian: Otrøy kyrkje; historical: Sør-Aukra Church) is a parish church in Midsund Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Uglvik, a couple of kilometers northeast of the village of Midsund on the island of Otrøya. The church is part of the Midsund parish in the Molde arch-deanery in the Diocese of Møre. The white wooden church was built in 1878 by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church seats about 300 people. This was the main church of the old Sør-Aukra municipality, and at that time it was called Sør-Aukra church.[1]
