Grytten Church (Norwegian: Grytten kyrkje) is a parish church in Rauma Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located near the mouth of the Rauma River in the village of Veblungsnes. The church is part of the Grytten parish in the Indre Romsdal deanery in the Diocese of Møre. The red, wooden, octagonal church was built in 1829 by the architect S.H. Aspaas. The church seats about 250 people. This is at least the third church at this site. There was an old stave church, and then a cruciform church before the present church was built.[1][2]
