Lebesby Church

Lebesby Church (Norwegian: Lebesby kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Lebesby Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Lebesby. It is the main church for the Lebesby parish which is part of the Hammerfest prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The brown, wooden church was built in a rectangular style in 1962, eighteen years after the old church (built in 1880) was burned down during the German withdrawal from Finnmark during World War II. This church was designed by the architect Odd Borgrud Pedersen. The church seats about 170 people and it was consecrated in 1962.[1][2]
