Øyfjell is a village in Vinje municipality, Norway. As many other rural villages in Norway, Øyfjell has witnessed a decline in population. Currently the village is trying to reverse the development with a project called Øyfjell City, which aims to draw people and businesses to the village.

The current name is derived from Ødefjeld (translating to desolate mountain) which is connected to the impact left on the village by the Black Death. A stave church, Øyfjell stave church, was previously located here but is now dismantled.


Øyfjell have now regained a lot of new people and are now increasing! because of Øyfjell City!
