Solstad Church (Norwegian: Solstad kirke) is a parish church in the municipality of Bindal in Nordland county, Norway. It is located along the Bindalsfjorden in the village of Holm. The church is part of the Solstad parish in the Sør-Helgeland deanery in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white church building was completed in 1888. The church seats about 300 people.
History
People in Bindal historically worshiped in nearby Sømna until 1643 when a church was built at Solstad in Bindal, just 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) north of Holm. That church remained for about a century and then was replaced on the same site. In 1888, the old church in Solstad was disassembled and moved to Lande in Brønnøy where it stands today as Tosen Chapel, and the present church was built in Holm.[1]
