Hammerfest Church, Protestant church in Hammerfest Municipality, Norway

The church spans as a long concrete structure with triangular shapes and a prominent steeple visible from both land and sea approaches.

The initial wooden chapel from 1620 underwent multiple reconstructions, with the current building completed in 1961 after German forces destroyed its predecessor.

The mosaic on the altar wall incorporates Norwegian stones, while the wood carvings on the organ gallery display representations of previous Hammerfest churches.

The church accommodates 525 people and stands at Kirkegata 29, serving as the main religious center for the Hammerfest parish in Nord-Hålogaland Diocese.

The ceiling features wood paneling that mirrors an upturned boat hull, while the organ contains 1782 pipes arranged to match the building's triangular architecture.
