Nordlandet Church (Norwegian: Nordlandet kirke) is a parish church in Kristiansund Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located on the western end of the island of Nordlandet in the town of Kristiansund. The church is part of the Nordlandet parish in the Ytre Nordmøre deanery in the Diocese of Møre. [1]

The stone church was built in 1914 based upon designs by the architect Hagbarth Martin Schytte-Berg (1860-1944). The church features murals by Emanuel Vigeland. The altarpiece dates from 1850 and was transferred from Kristiansund Church, which was demolished in 1884. The church seats about 700 people. It is one of the few churches in the area that were not harmed during World War II.[2][3][4]
