Nes Church (Norwegian: Nes kyrkje) is a parish church in Luster Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Nes, on the western shore of the Lustrafjorden. The church is part of the Nes parish in the Indre Sogn deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church, which has 110 seats, was built and consecrated in 1836 by the local Dean Wilhelm Christian Magelsen. It was built using drawings by the architect Hans Ditlev Franciscus Linstow. This church replaced a stave church dating back to the 14th century that was torn down in 1836.[1][2][3]
