Strandlykkja Church is a small long church with a turret in the middle, built in 1915 according to the plans of the architect H. Børve. The architect was clearly inspired by the churches of Stave church, especially for the interior details with columns and arches. Skirmishes in 1940 left some bullet holes in the wall.
