Sunnylven Church (

long church style in 1859 by the builder Ludolph Rolfsen who used plans by the architect Hans Linstow. The church seats about 400 people.[1][2]

History

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to 1432 where it was mentioned in

transepts to the north and south sides of the nave. At some point, the old choir for the stave church was torn down and replaced with a timber-framed choir.[3][4][5]

On 15 March 1727, a large

timber-framed cruciform design.[5][6]

The 1730 cruciform church was in use until

Stryn Municipality designed the church based on drawings by Hans Linstow. Rolfsen also headed the construction of Hornindal Church and Nedstryn Church, both in the Nordfjord region to the south of here, and these churches share many features. Shipbuilder Nils A. Liaaen of Sunnylven designed Sylte Church in 1862 and was probably inspired by this church at Hellesylt.[5][6][7]

Playwright Henrik Ibsen visited Hellesylt in the summer of 1862[8] when this church was new and Sunnylven with Geiranger had just been named a separate prestegjeld (parish). The municipality of Sunnylven and the local priest, Rev. Ole Olsen Barman (born 1816),[9] was an inspiration for Ibsen's dramatic poem Brand.[10]
