Church in Vestland, Norway
Old Bømlo Church or Old Vorland Church (Norwegian: Bømlo gamle kyrkje or Vorland gamle kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Bømlo Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in Vorland, just northeast of the village of Langevåg on the southern tip of the island of Bømlo. It was once the main church for the Bømlo parish which is part of the Sunnhordland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1621 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 150 people.[1][2]
