Description

Nesna Church is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Nesna Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Nesna. It is the main church for the Nesna parish which is part of the Nord-Helgeland prosti in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, neo-gothic, wooden church was built in an octagonal cruciform style in 1880 by the architect Niels Stockfleth Darre Eckhoff. The church seats about 480 people. The church was consecrated on 17 September 1880.

The first church in Nesna was built sometime before 1589. In 1666, the church inspection said that the church had some major shortcomings that needed improving. In 1750, the church was described as very neglected. A new church building was consecrated in 1767. It was a timber-framed, cruciform building that was painted red. That church was soon too small for the parish, so in 1880, a new church was built just south of the old church. After the new church was completed, the old church was torn down and the materials were sold. The 1880-church was also a cruciform shape, but the inner corners were cut off, forming more of an octagonal central area.
