Beiarn Church (Norwegian: Beiarn kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Beiarn Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Moldjord. It is the main church for the Beiarn parish which is part of the Salten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1873 by the architect L. W. Nissen. The church seats about 310 people.[1][2]

History

Construction on the church started in 1872, but due to a storm on 21 January 1873, everything had to be demolished. The site was moved a short distance away and construction began again. The new church was consecrated on 23 October 1873.
