Volda Church (Norwegian: Volda kyrkje; Voldskyrkja) is a parish church in Volda Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Volda, along the northeastern shore of the Voldsfjorden. The church is part of the Volda parish in the Søre Sunnmøre deanery in the Diocese of Møre. The large stone church was built in 1932 to replace an earlier church that burned down on 7 April 1929. It was consecrated on 1 May 1932 by the Bishop Andreas Fleischer. The church was built by the architect Arnstein Arneberg, and it seats about 800 people. The church site dates back to an old stave church that was originally built around the year 1200.[1][2][3]
