Skodje Church

Skodje Church is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Ålesund Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Skodje. It is the church for the Skodje parish which is part of the Nordre Sunnmøre prosti in the Diocese of Møre. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1860 by the architect F. Meinhardt. The church seats about 330 people.
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to 1432, but the exact date of its founding is not known. In 1665, the church was described as being a cruciform design and that the building had recently been remodeled. That church existed until 1750 when it was in such poor condition that it was torn down and a new wooden, cruciform church was built on the same site. In 1859 this church too was torn down, and the present church building was constructed. The new church was put into use in 1860.
