Old Olden Church (Norwegian: Olden gamle kyrkje) is a former parish church of the Church of Norway in Stryn Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Olden at the north end of the Oldedalen valley. Until 1934, the church was the parish church for the Olden parish which is part of the Nordfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. Since 1934, the church has been used for special occasions and functions mostly as a museum. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform design in 1759 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church is the only existing cruciform church in Nordfjord. The church seats about 250 people.[1][2][3][4]
