Stolmen Church (Norwegian: Stolmen kyrkje; historic name: Møkster kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Austevoll Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Kvalvåg on the island of Stolmen, although historically it was located on the small island of Møkster, hence the name. It is one of the five churches for the Austevoll parish which is part of the Fana prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1892 using plans drawn up by the architect Hans Heinrich Jess. The church seats about 320 people.[1][2]
