Hadsel Church, Church building in Hadsel, Norway.
The red wooden Hadsel Church sits on a hilltop between Stokmarknes and Melbu, offering views of the fjord and mountain Møysalen.
The church site dates back to 1382, with the current octagonal structure completed in 1824, making it the fourth religious building at this location.
The church participated in Norway's first national elections of 1814 as one of 300 parish churches serving as polling stations across the country.
The octagonal design provides maximum floor space for the amount of timber used, accommodating up to 500 people during religious services and community events.
The sanctuary features an equal-sided octagonal plan with blue details around windows and doors, reflecting the original color scheme from 1824.
