Seløyna

Seløyna or Seløy is an island in Øygarden municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. The 8.7-square-kilometre (3.4 sq mi) island is the northernmost of the large populated islands in the Øygarden archipelago. It is connected to the island of Alvøyna by a short bridge over the Vikesundet strait. The small island of Førehjelmo lies just to the north of Seløyna, and there is a small bridge connecting to it.

The island was once part of the old municipality of Hjelme which existed until 1964. The island is home to two churches: the Old Hjelme Church in the small, coastal village of Hjelmo and the "new" Hjelme Church is centrally located along the main road crossing the island of Seløyna.
