Rossfjord Church

Rossfjord Church (Norwegian: Rossfjord kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Senja Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. It is located just northeast of the village of Rossfjordstraumen, along the coast of the Malangen fjord. It is one of the churches in the Lenvik parish which is part of the Senja prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The white, wooden church was originally built in a cruciform style in 1822 by an unknown architect in Lenvik as Lenvik Church. When a new Lenvik Church was constructed, this building was taken down and moved to its present location in 1885. The church seats about 250 people.[1][2]

gollark: Sorry, I mean why doesn't *selection* sort do that.]
gollark: Why doesn't insertion sort use binary search so it's O(n log n)?
