Måsøy Church (Norwegian: Måsøy kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Måsøy Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in village of Måsøy on the island of Måsøya. It is an annex church for the Måsøy parish which is part of the Hammerfest prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The white, concrete church was built in a long church style in 1953 by the architect Eyvind Moestue. The church seats about 120 people.[1][2]
History
The first church on Måsøya was built in 1747 when the old Ingøy Church was moved here and rebuilt. That church lasted for some time. A new church was built on Måsøya in 1865. Like most other churches in Finnmark, Måsøy Church was burned down by the Germans during the evacuation of Finnmark in 1944. A new church was completed in 1953 to replaced the old one. It was built a little south of the old church site. The new church was designed by architect Eyvind Moestue to have the same principal setup as the earlier timber church built in 1865.[3]
