Sagfjord Church (Norwegian: Sagfjord kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Hamarøy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Karlsøy on the island of Finnøya. It is the church for the Sagfjord parish which is part of the Ofoten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1886 by the architect S. Mathisen. The church seats about 130 people.[1][2][3]

History

The church was originally built in 1775 in the village of Presteid and at that time it was called Hamarøy Church. In 1840, the church was renovated and repaired. In 1885, the old Hamarøy Church was taken down and moved to the village of Karlsøy on the nearby island of Finnøya where it is now known as the Sagfjord Church.[4][5]
