Evje Church (Norwegian: Evje kirke) is the main parish church in Evje og Hornnes municipality in Aust-Agder county, Norway. It is located at the north end of the village of Evje, just east of the river Otra. The church is part of the Evje parish in the Otredal deanery in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden church was built in an cruciform style in 1891 by builder Ludvig Karlsen. The church was consecrated on 16 December 1891 by the Bishop Johan Christian Heuch. The church seats about 450 people. There are no old historic or artistic pieces in the church, everything in it was new when it was built in 1891.[1][2][3]
