Herøy Church

The white wooden church features a rectangular nave, a western tower, and a narrower choir section with a semicircular apse at its eastern end.

The church construction began in the 12th century, with the choir section representing the oldest part, followed by subsequent expansion of the stone nave.

The church holds regular services as part of the Nord-Helgeland prosti in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland, maintaining Norwegian religious traditions through generations.

The church interior accommodates 350 people and includes modifications from 1879 when the nave length doubled with an additional 10 meters extension.

The structure underwent a transformation from its initial combination of stone and wood components to its current form through multiple architectural modifications.
