Kinnarodden

Northernmost Church?

Northernmost Church?, Mehamn

 travelfrosch Says:  I was impressed by this church as we arrived. Note the steep slope of the roof, presumably to keep the snow from collecting on top. I don't have any information on it, but if this isn't the northernmost church in the world, it's pretty darn close.
