Austre Moland Church (Norwegian: Austre Moland kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Arendal Municipality in Agder county, Norway. It is located in the Brekka, along the lake Molandsvann. It is one of the churches for the Moland parish which is part of the Arendal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform design in 1673 using plans drawn up by the architect Ole Ormsen. The church seats about 496 people.[1][2][3]
