Voll Church (Norwegian: Voll kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Rauma Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Voll in the Måndalen valley. It is the church for the Voll parish which is part of the Indre Romsdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1896 by the architect Gabriel Smith from Ålesund. The church seats about 290 people, making it the largest church in Rauma.[1][2]
History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to 1432 when it was likely a stave church. In 1673-1674 the old church was torn down and a new timber-framed, cruciform church was constructed on the same site. It was a 15.6-metre (51 ft) long building. That church was torn down in the spring of 1895 and replaced in 1896 with the present church. The new church is a rectangular building with an almost-circular extension on the eastern end and a large steeple on the western end.[3][4]
