Florø Church is the main parish church in Flora Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the town of Florø. The church is part of the Kinn parish in the Sunnfjord deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The church, which has a seating capacity of 650, was consecrated on 8 November 1882, by the bishop Fredrik W. Hvoslef. The architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan made the designs.HistoryFor the first 22 years after Florø was granted city privileges, it was probably the only city in the country without a church of its own. The city people had to undertake the exhausting voyage to the old Kinn Church on the island of Kinn to be able to attend church services. For obvious reasons, the church issue was a recurrent topic in the Florø city council after 1860.BuildingFlorø church is a big church built with a high nave. On either side wall there are five big windows with pointed gables. The chancel is pentagonal with three big windows. All the stained-glass windows are framed in lead. There are two vestries, one for the vicar and one reserved for babies to be christened. The church had an organ for the consecration ceremony in 1882, and this was one of the first organs in the region of Sunnfjord.
