Bruvik Church (Norwegian: Bruvik kyrkje) is a parish church in Osterøy municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Bruvik. The church is part of the Osterøy parish in the Arna og Åsane deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in 1867 by the architect Frederik Hannibal Stockfleth. The church seats about 350 people.[1][2]
This is the third church building to stand on this site. The original church from the middle ages was a stave church. That one was replaced by a timber church in the early 17th century. That church was torn down to make room for the present church.[3]
