Svanvik Church, Heritage church in Pasvikdalen valley, Norway.
The wooden church stands at the intersection of the Pasvikelva river and the Russian border, featuring a cruciform architectural design with seating for 250 people.
Architect Harald Sund completed the construction of Svanvik Church in 1934, following requests from Pasvikdalen valley residents for a local place of worship.
The church functions as one of six religious buildings within the Sør-Varanger parish, operating under the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland in Finnmark county.
Visitors can access the church through the parish office by calling 78977570 or sending an email to kirken@svk.no for events and services.
During World War II, the church remained standing in the conflict zone of the Liberation of Finnmark, sustaining minimal damage before returning to service.
