Hornindal Church (Norwegian: Hornindal kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Volda Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Grodås, at the eastern end of the lake Hornindalsvatnet. It is the church for the Hornindal 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 1856 by the architect Ludolph Rolfsen using plans created by Hans Linstow. The church seats about 400 people. The church was consecrated on 30 November 1856 by the priest Wilhelm Frimann Koren.[1][2] The sculptor Anders Svor is buried in the church cemetery.[3]
History
The earliest existing historical records of the Hornindal church date back to the year 1330. The first known church in Hornindal was a stave church called Hornynarkyrkja and it was located in Ytrehorn, just west of the present location. This church was demolished in 1600 and was replaced by a long, low, wooden church at the nearby Kirkhorn farm. That church was replaced by the present church in 1856.[4][5]
