Alstahaug Church (Norwegian: Alstahaug kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Alstahaug Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is one of seven surviving medieval churches in northern Norway. Petter Dass was the vicar at this church from 1689 until his death in 1707.[1]
The church is located at Alstahaug, a small peninsula on the southern end of the island of Alsta. It is the church for the parish of Alstahaug, which is part of the Nord-Helgeland deanery in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The stone church was built in a long church style in the 12th century. The church seats about 270 people.[2][3]
