Flakstad Church
Flakstad kirke
A red timber church with an onion-shaped spire, built in 1780 beside Skagsanden Beach with snowy peaks behind it. It is one of Lofoten's most photogenic churches.
The church was built from driftwood brought from Russia and has a distinctive onion-shaped steeple. It is one of the oldest surviving churches in Lofoten. The interior can be visited in summer for a small fee. In front of the church lies Skagsanden Beach. In winter, when the northern lights appear, the red church, snowy mountains and beach together make a favourite scene for photographers. The car park is right beside the E10.
Opening hours
Summer approx. 10:00–16:00
