Description

We were waylaid a day, having to travel from Bodo up the west coast of Norway to another crossing 3 hours further north because of gale force winds at Bodo which kept the ferry moored in Bodo. We crossed and spent the night finally on the Lofoten peninsula. The next day we stopped at Vestpollen's Sildpollnes Church (kirke).

Sildpollnes Church is is located on the Sildpollneset peninsula on the island of Austvågøya. It is an annex chapel in the Svolvær parish which is part of the Lofoten prosti in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, wooden chapel was built in a long church style in 1891.

The building was completed in 1891 as a meeting house and in 1961 its status was upgraded to that of a chapel.

The church sits on a small peninsula that is surrounded by water on three sides surrounded by picturesque mountains with heavenly views.

Taken in January when the sun still was not rising above the horizon and most of the day is still in darkness.
