Elverhøy Church, Lutheran church in Tromsø Municipality, Norway.

Elverhøy Church features red wooden walls, vertical panel siding, and a large steeple positioned above its main entrance in Tromsø Municipality.

The church, initially constructed in 1803 at the site of present-day Tromsø Cathedral, participated in Norway's first national elections in 1814.

The church maintains Norwegian Lutheran traditions through regular services, ceremonies, and community gatherings that bring local residents together throughout the year.

The basement contains a parish hall, kitchen facilities, cloakroom, and restrooms to accommodate up to 435 people during religious services.

The entire church building underwent relocation in 1974, moving 1.5 kilometers west of Tromsø city center to its current position on Tromsøya island.
