Syvde Church
Syvde Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in the municipality of Vanylven in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the village of Myklebost in the Syvde area of the municipality. It is the church for the Syvde parish which is part of the Søre Sunnmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1837 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 392 people. History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to 1432 in Aslak Bolt's cadastre, but the church was already existing at that time. The first church in Syvde was likely a wooden stave church that was possibly built in the 14th century. The original church site was at Myklebust, about to the southwest of the present church site. The oldest written sources that describe the church building say that the small, old stave church had a rectangular nave with a choir on the south end and a church porch on the west end. In 1677, the old pulpit from the old Ulstein Church was moved to this church and installed
