Lunde Church (Norwegian: Lunde kirke) is a parish church in Sirdal municipality in Vest-Agder county, Norway. It is located in the village of Lunde in the Øvre Sirdal area. The church is part of the Sirdal parish in the Lister deanery in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden church was built in 1873 using plans by the architect Hans Linstow. The church seats about 250 people.[1][2]
History
A small chapel was built at Lunde in the upper Sirdalen valley in 1819. On 29 October 1847, a Royal Decree upgraded the chapel to the status of a full church. The church was soon too small for the congregation, so a new church was built in 1873 (the present church).
