Kvinnherad Church (Template:Lang-no) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Kvinnherad Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Rosendal. It is the church for the Rosendal parish which is part of the Sunnhordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, stone church was built in a long church style in the mid-1200s using designs by an unknown architect. The church seats about 380 people.[1][2]

History

The white, stone church was built during the middle to late 13th century. The church was first named in historical records in 1306, but it was not new at that time. From 1678 until 1910, the church was owned by the nearby Barony Rosendal, where many of the Rosenkrantz family are buried. The building has been renovated and refurbished many times over the centuries, the most recent times were in 1913-1914 and in 1955.[3][4][5]
