Talvik Church, Heritage church building in Talvik, Norway

The white wooden church stands near the Altafjorden fjord and European route E06 highway, featuring a long church architectural design with seating for 300 people.

Construction of the current church structure took place in 1883 under the architectural direction of Jacob Wilhelm Nordan, replacing previous buildings dating back to 1691.

The church operates as a parish church within the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland, maintaining regular religious services for the Talvik community in Alta Municipality.

Located at Mellomgjerdet 1 in Talvik, the church remains open for visitors and conducts services under the management of Alta kirkelige fellesråd.

During World War II, the church endured German explosions with minimal damage, emerging as the single remaining structure in Talvik after the conflict.
