Kleive Church (Template:Lang-no) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Molde Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Kleive, at the eastern end of the Fannefjorden. It is the church for the Kleive parish which is part of the Molde domprosti (arch-deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The white, wooden church was built in an octagonal design in the Empire style in 1858 by an unknown architect. The church seats about 270 people.[1][2]
History
In 1589, historical records show that a stave church existed in Kleive. That is the oldest known church at that site. That church was demolished in 1697 and a new cruciform church was built to replace it. In 1857, that cruciform church was torn down and the present octagonal church was built.[3]
