Syvde Church (Norwegian: Syvde kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Vanylven Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Myklebost in the Syvde area of the municipality. It is the church for the Syvde parish which is part of the Søre Sunnmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1836 by an unknown architect. The church seats about 392 people.[1][2]
History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to 1432, but the church was already existing at that time. The original church was likely a stave church. In 1766, the church was described as an old and non-descript stave church. It is not known if it was the original church or not. The stave church was torn down in 1836 and the materials were sold. A new church was built the same year on that site, which still stands today.[3][4]
