Moster Church (Norwegian: Moster kyrkje) is a parish church in Bømlo municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located just north of the village of Mosterhamn on the island of Moster. The church is part of the Moster parish in the Sunnhordland deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in 1874 by the architect Peter Andreas Blix. It was built to replace the centuries-old Old Moster Church. The present church seats about 365 people.[1][2]
