Gimmestad gamle kirke

Old Gimmestad Church (Norwegian: Gimmestad gamle kyrkje) is a former parish church of the Church of Norway in Gloppen Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Sørstranda. Previously, it served as the church for the Gimmestad parish, which is part of the Nordfjord pros

ti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin, but now it primarily functions as a museum. The red, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1692, with the architect remaining unknown. The church has a seating capacity of approximately 80 people. The church was in regular use until 1910 when the new Gimmestad Church was completed. Since 1910, the church has been preserved as a historic site and is occasionally used for religious services or weddings.
