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