Innvik Church, Parish church in Stryn Municipality, Norway

The octagonal church building stands near the fjord, featuring a distinctive design that accommodates 350 people within its architectural structure.

The original wooden stave church from the 13th century was moved 600 meters closer to the fjord in 1580 and rebuilt using combined construction methods.

The church functioned as an election site during Norway's first national elections in 1814 for the Constitutional Assembly of Norway.

Electric heating systems, installed in 1961, provide comfort for visitors attending regular services and community gatherings throughout the year.

The church received its first worship service on Christmas Day 1822, but the formal consecration ceremony occurred later on July 28, 1824.
