Kirkenes Church, Parish church in Kirkenes, Norway.
Located on a small elevation near the sea, this white concrete church follows a traditional long design with a tower extending above the chancel section.
The original 1862 church structure was destroyed during World War II bombings in 1944, leading to a fifteen-year reconstruction period completed in 1959.
The church name influenced the development of Kirkenes town, as the word means church headland in Norwegian, marking its central role in the community.
The interior space contains three sections divided by columns and provides seating for 275 people during regular religious services and ceremonies.
The church spire from the original 1862 building survived the World War II destruction and was integrated into the current structure.
