This church (kirke) serves a parish of the Church of Norway. It is located in the village of Gimsøysand on the island of Gimsøya. We drove through heavy snowfall from Leknes to reach the church and then scrambled over snow covered, and sometimes icy, boulders to get into position (glad I had my Yaktrax on my boots). The church has been around since 1432, and the building depicted here was built and consecrated in 1876.
