Holum Church (Norwegian: Holum kirke) is a parish church in Mandal municipality in Vest-Agder county, Norway. It is located in the village of Krossen. The church is part of the Holum parish in the Mandal deanery in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden, cruciform church was built in 1825 by an unknown architect. The church seats about 480 people.[1][2]

History

There has been a church at Krossen since at least the year 1307, but there is reason to believe that the stave church present then was already old. There have been several churches on this site since that time, and the present church was completed in 1825. The church was consecrated on 4 September 1825 by the Bishop Johan Storm Munch.[3]
