Røssvoll Church

Røssvoll Church (Norwegian: Røssvoll kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Rana Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Røssvoll. It is the church for the Røssvoll parish which is part of the Indre Helgeland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, wooden church was built in an octagonal style in 1952 by the architects Nygård and Skyberg.
