Karlsøy Church

Karlsøy Church (Norwegian: Karlsøy kirke) is a historic parish church of the Church of Norway in Karlsøy Municipality in Troms county, Norway. It is located on the island of Karlsøya. It is the former main church for the Karlsøy parish which is part of the Tromsø domprosti (arch-deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The church is no longer in regular use, since it is on a remote island that is now sparsely populated. The church holds special services occasionally, including one summer service each year. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style using plans drawn up by the architect Hans Linstow. The church seats about 570 people.
