Sulitjelma Church (Norwegian: Sulitjelma kirke) is a parish church in the municipality of Fauske in Nordland county, Norway. [1]
It is located in the village of Sulitjelma. The church is part of the Sulitjelma parish in the Salten deanery in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white wooden church was built in 1899, and it was consecrated on 12 November 1899 by Bishop Peter Wilhelm Bøckman (1851–1926). The church seats about 250 people. In 1996, a new parish graveyard was built on the southern part of the village, and the Sulitjelma Chapel was built on that site.[2][3]
