Brønnøy Church (Norwegian: Brønnøy kirke) is a parish church in the municipality of Brønnøy in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the town of Brønnøysund. The church is part of the Brønnøy parish in the Sør-Helgeland deanery in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The present stone church building was built in 1870; the church site has been in use since the 13th century. There have been two church fires on this site, the first in 1772 and the second in 1866. The original church had a rectangular floor plan, which was enlarged to create a cruciform layout during the 19th century. The present church underwent an extensive renovation from 2006-2008.[1]
