Fedje Church

Fedje Church (Norwegian: Fedje kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Fedje Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Fedje on the northern coast of the island of Fedje. It is the church for the Fedje parish which is part of the Nordhordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white plastered brick church was built in a long church design in 1941 using plans drawn up by the architect Ole Halvorsen. The church seats about 400 people. The church is built of brick and covered with white plaster. This was chosen because it is better suited than wood for the harsh marine climate on Fedje. The roof consists of slate from Alta and the tower is covered with copper.
