Vanylven Church (Norwegian: Vanylven kyrkje) is a parish church in Vanylven Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Slagnes, on the shore of the Vanylvsfjorden. The church is part of the Vanylven parish in the Søre Sunnmøre deanery in the Diocese of Møre. The white brick church was built in 1864 by the architect Georg Andreas Bull. The church seats about 320 people.[1][2]
History
The church was built in 1864 to replace the old Saint Jetmund Church, located in the nearby village of Åheim. The new location at Slagnes was chosen since it was between the two large villages of Åheim and Fiskåbygd.[3]
