Granvin Church (Norwegian: Granvin kyrkje) is a parish church in Voss municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located on the eastern shore of the Granvinsvatnet in the small farm area called "Granvin". This place located a few kilometers north of the municipal centre which is also called Granvin. The church is part of the Granvin parish in the Hardanger og Voss deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in 1726 to replace a centuries-old stave church that was on the same site. The present church seats about 350 people.[1][2]
