Malangen Church, church in Balsfjord, Norway
Malangen Church is a wooden church in the village of Mortenhals built in the long church style with a rectangular nave and small chancel. The white-painted building accommodates around 280 people and belongs to the Church of Norway's Evangelical Lutheran tradition.
The church was constructed in 1853 by local builders and consecrated on August 31 of that year. It has remained in continuous service to the community since its opening.
The church takes its name from the nearby Malangen Fjord and serves as a gathering place for the community across generations. Families have marked important life moments here, from christenings to weddings and funerals.
The church is located in the small village of Mortenhals within Balsfjord Municipality and is open year-round. Visitors should know that the building serves primarily for worship services and community events, so access may be limited depending on the event schedule.
The bright white exterior of the church is visible from a great distance and stands out distinctly against the harsh landscape of the fjord region. This striking appearance has made it a recognizable landmark for local residents and travelers in the area.
