Old Gaupne Church (Norwegian: Gaupne gamle kyrkje) is a historic parish church of the Church of Norway in Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Gaupne. It was the main church for the Luster parish (which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin) until it was replaced in 1907. The brown, wooden church was built in a long church design about 1650 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 130 people.[1][2]
