Knarvik Church (Norwegian: Knarvik kyrkje) is a parish church in Lindås municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Knarvik. The church is part of the Alversund parish in the Nordhordland deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. Work on the church site began on 3 November 2012, and on 15 September 2013 the Bishop Halvor Nordhaug laid the foundation stone during a church service on the construction site. The church council budgeted 70 million kr for the church. The church was designed by the firm of Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter. The modern-style church was consecrated on 30 November 2014. The exterior of the building features the markedly rising roofs of the spire, church sanctuary and chapel. [1][2] [3]
