Bjerkvik Church (Norwegian: Bjerkvik kirke) is a parish church in the village of Bjerkvik, in the municipality of Narvik, in Nordland county, Norway. It is part of the Bjerkvik parish, the Ofoten deanery and the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.

History

The first church was built in Bjerkvik in 1914. Allied forces destroyed it on 13 April 1940, during World War II. Its replacement was completed in 1955 and consecrated that 14 August by the Bishop Wollert Krohn-Hansen. The white concrete building was designed by architects Arnstein Arneberg and Per Solemslie, and seats about 320 people.
