Nordvik Church

Nordvik Church is a white wooden building located in Dønna Municipality on an island in Norway. The interior follows a traditional elongated church layout and can hold about 300 people.

The church was designed in 1871 by architect Niels Stockfleth Darre Eckhoff and served as the main church for Nordvik Municipality until 1962. Afterward, it became part of Dønna parish and continues to function today.

The church serves as a gathering place for the community and shapes religious life in the Nord-Helgeland region. It reflects how faith and local traditions continue to matter to people living here.

The building sits north of Solfjellsjøen village on Dønna island and remains an active place of worship. Visitors should check ahead about service times, as opening hours can vary.

The building ranks among Norway's northernmost heritage-listed churches and sits in a region with extreme light conditions. Summer brings midnight sun, while winter stays dark for months.
