Old Nærbø Church
Old Nærbø Church (Norwegian: Nærbø gamle kirke) is a parish church in Hå municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Nærbø. The church is part of the Nærbø parish in the Jæren deanery in the Diocese of Stavanger. The white, wooden church was built in 1834 using plans by the architect Hans Linstow. The church seats about 350 people. In 2005, the "new" Nærbø Church was built on the other side of the village to replace this church.
