Garstad Church

It is located in the village of Garstad on the island of Mellom-Vikna.

It is the main church for the Vikna parish which is part of the Namdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

[1][2] The first church was built at Garstad on the island of Mellom-Vikna in 1592, being consecrated on 1 November 1592.

The church served the Vikna area for over 200 years before it burned to the ground after being struck by lightning on 20 January 1854.

[3] In the 1950s, the architect Arne Sørvik was hired to lead an extensive restoration of the building prior to its 100th anniversary.
