Sengskroken Church (Norwegian: Sengskroken kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Karlsøy Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. It is located on the western coast of the island of Vanna (also known as Vannøya). It is an annex church for the Karlsøy parish which is part of the Tromsø domprosti (arch-deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The white, wooden church (originally it was a "chapel") was built in a long church style in 1962 by the architect Knut P. Bugge. The church seats about 225 people.[1][2] The chapel was consecrated on 2 September 1962 by the Bishop Monrad Norderval. In 2009, the classification of the chapel was upgraded to "church" status.[3]
