Bodin Church
Bodin kirke
A medieval Romanesque stone church built around 1240, and the oldest surviving building in the Bodø area.
Bodin Church is a Romanesque stone church built in the mid-13th century. Later, a Baroque-style bell tower and wooden interior were added, and the altar and pulpit feature finely carved decorations. The church sits in a quiet old cemetery with views over Saltfjorden. It lies about 3 km east of the city center, near the Aviation Museum. The church is open for visits in summer, while the rest of the year it can be viewed from the outside.
