Eid Church (Template:Lang-no) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Rauma Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Eidsbygda. It is the main church for the Eid og Holm parish which is part of the Indre Romsdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1797 by an unknown architect. The church seats about 190 people.[1][2][3]
History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to 1589. That medieval church was a stave church. In 1797, a new church (the present church) was built (probably) just to the south of the old church (legend says the old church was to the east of the new church). In August of 1797, the last services were held in the old church and then the record books state that on 9 October 1797 the new church was consecrated by Provost Krog from the nearby Veøy Church. This short window between indicates the old church likely was in use until the new church was almost completed. In 1872-1874, the church was expanded to the east, a new roof was installed, and a tower was built on the west side. In 1915-1916, the church was thoroughly remodeled on the inside.[4]
