Old Veøy Church

The old church in Veøy is a long medieval stone church built around the year 1200. Veøy Old Church is often compared to the two other central stone churches in Møre og Romsdal: Borgund Church and Tingvoll Church. The exterior is Romanesque and the interior dates from the post-reformation period. The church functioned as a parish church until 1907.

Veøy church

The Veøy church was built in 1907 and designed by the architect Karl Martin Norum. The church has the characteristics of Dragestil's churches. Most of the churches that were built at that time are white, but this one is red with white windows and doors. Inside, the church is painted with a combination of shades of brown. The same ochre colours are found in much of the interior. Sometimes a slightly cooler colour is used for decorative details, blue, red, green and gold.

Vågstranda Church

Vågstranda Church was built in 1870 and restored for its centenary in 1970. The church has the outer outline of a long church. It is built of wood, cut in Trondheim, where the church was also erected in its raw state. The logs were then marked and collected, transported to Vågstranda and put back in place.
