[edit] The building
The church is reckoned as the first real «modern» church building in Norway. The architect Odd Østbye has created a building which break with all traditional church architecture. The architectonic idea behind Kirkelandet Kirke is «Quartz in roses», viz. the church is shining as a glowing quartz among the roses.
The church was nominated as the contribution from Møre og Romsdal to the "Building of the Century 1905-2005" (Århundrets byggverk 1905–2005) in Norway.
