Forsnes Chapel

Forsnes Chapel (Norwegian: Forsnes kapell) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Hitra Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway.

It is located in the village of Forsnes on the southwestern coast of the island of Hitra.

It is one of the churches for the Kvenvær og Sandstad parish which is part of the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

[1][2] Kvenvær Church was historically located on the small island of Hakkebuøya off the western shores of the village of Kvenvær on the main island of Hitra where it was established in the mid-15th century.

A new church was built there in 1763 which was in use there until 1909 when the new Kvenvær Church was built in the village of Kvenvær on the main island of Hitra in a more easily accessible location.
