Totland Church (Norwegian: Totland kyrkje) is a parish church in Vågsøy Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Totland, along the shores of the Nordfjorden. The church is part of the Vågsøy parish in the Nordfjord deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in 1912 to serve the people of the old Davik municipality who lived on the north side of the Nordfjorden. The architects Lars Sølvberg and Jens Sølvberg designed the building and it seats about 250 people. From 1912 until 1953, the chapel at Totland was an annex of the Rugsund Church parish across the fjord. In 1953, Totland became its own parish (sokn). In 1965, the municipality of Davik was split up and merged into other neighboring municipalities and the parish area of Totland was merged into Vågsøy Municipality.^[1][2]
