Rødven Church
Rødven Church (Norwegian: Rødven kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Rauma Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Rødven. It is one of the churches for the Eid og Holm parish which is part of the Indre Romsdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The red, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1907 by the architect Jens Zetlitz Monrad Kielland from Bergen. The church seats about 120 people. The church was built to replace the historic Rødven Stave Church, which sits just across the road and it was used for centuries until this church was built.[1][2]
