Old Edøy Church
Old Edøy Church (Norwegian: Edøy gamle kirke) is a historic parish church of the Church of Norway in Smøla Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located on the southwestern end of the small island of Edøya, just south of the larger island of Smøla. Prior to the construction of the new Edøy Church in 1885, it was the main church for the Edøy parish which is part of the Ytre Nordmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The stone church was built in a long church style around the year 1190 by an unknown architect. The church seats about 120 people.
