Flakstad Church

The red wooden church follows a cruciform design with an onion dome spire and white-framed windows situated near the Norwegian coastline.

Dating from 1780, the church replaced an earlier structure from 1430 and contains a limestone baptismal font from the 13th century.

The church functions as both a religious center and an election venue, marking its role in the 1814 Norwegian Constitutional Assembly.

Located at coordinates 68.1048, 13.3063, the church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in Norwegian religious architecture.

The building materials include timber sourced from Russia, with original chandeliers and altar table preserved from the previous church structure.
