Bakka Church (Norwegian: Bakka kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Aurland Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Bakka, on the shores of the sparsely populated Nærøyfjorden. It is the church for the Nærøy parish which is part of the Sogn prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1859 using plans drawn up by the architect Christian Henrik Grosch. The church seats about 200 people.[1][2]
The church is a small, simple building with a 13.5-by-7-metre (44 ft × 23 ft) nave and a 4.4-by-7-metre (14 ft × 23 ft) choir. A 1.7-by-3.4-metre (5 ft 7 in × 11 ft 2 in) chancel contains the altarpiece. Due to its rural, isolated location, the Nærøy parish is one of the smallest parishes in the Diocese of Bjørgvin with only 104 members in 1999. In a normal year, there are about one or two baptisms and about the same number of confirmands.[3]
