Hareid Church (Template:Lang-no) is a parish church in Hareid Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Hareid on the eastern side of the island of Hareidlandet. The church is part of the Hareid parish in the Søre Sunnmøre deanery in the Diocese of Møre. The white wooden church was built in 1877 and it seats about 400 people.[1][2]

History

The oldest known church in Hareid dates back to the 13th century. Little is known about that church, but it was a stave church which burned down after a lightning strike on 25 February 1806. The church was replaced by an octagonal building in 1807 that was designed by the local parish priest, Peder Thomas Buschmann. This church stood for 70 years before it was torn down and replaced. The new church was built in a Romanesque Revival style and it was consecrated on 13 December 1877 by the local parish priest Christian Wisløff.[3]
