Karlsøy kirke

Karlsøy Church is a wooden church built in 1854. The church has a long plan and was built according to one of Hans Linstow's typical designs. The first historical records of Karlsøya church date back to 1419, but the church was probably built in the late 13th century. A new long church was built in 1620, in 1732 the church was repaired and in 1770 an annex was built to make room for more people. In 1790 the church was converted to a cruciform design by adding two side wings.
