Bykle Church (Norwegian: Bykle kyrkje) is a parish church in Bykle municipality in Aust-Agder county, Norway. It is located in the village of Bykle. The church is part of the Bykle parish in the Otredal deanery in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. In the late 20th century, the Old Bykle Church was deemed to be too old and small for the local congregation, so a new church building was commissioned. Bishop Olav Skjevesland laid the foundation stone for the new Bykle Church on 1 January 2000. The new, white, wooden church was completed in 2004 using plans by the architect Hans Olaf Aanensen. The church, which seats about 220 people, was consecrated on 4 September 2004 by Bishop Skjevesland.[1][2][3]
