Austefjord Church (Norwegian: Austefjord kyrkje) is a parish church in Volda Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Fyrde, at the eastern end of the Austefjorden. The church is part of the Austefjord parish in the Søre Sunnmøre deanery in the Diocese of Møre. The church was originally built in 1773 (some sources say 1766) in the village of Nes in the present-day municipality of Bjugn. The church was disassembled in 1879, moved to Fyrde, and reassembled as Austefjord Church. The church seats about 150 people.[1][2]
