Haukedalen Church (Norwegian: Haukedalen kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Sunnfjord Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Haukedalen. It one of the two churches for the Holsen og Haukedalen parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1885 using designs by the architect Hartvig Sverdrup Eckhoff. The church seats about 120 people.[1][2]
Haukedalen Church is located at an elevation of 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level, and within the old Sogn og Fjordane county, only Borgund Stave Church and Borgund Church in the municipality of Lærdal are higher in elevation. Haukedalen is also the church located farthest from the sea in all of Sogn og Fjordane county, 42 kilometres (26 mi) from the head of the Førdefjorden. The community of Haukedalen is on the high ground of the Gaula river watershed. The Haukedalen people have always belonged to the parish of Førde, even though they had to cross the 543-metre (1,781 ft) high Rørvikfjellet pass in the Gaularfjellet mountains to reach the Holsen Church (until Haukedalen received its own church). Haukedalen is in the geographical centre of the old county of Sogn og Fjordane and is thus both distant and central in location.[3]
