Flakstad Church sits in an open setting just outside Ramberg, the only timber church in Lofoten with an onion-shaped cupola. The 1780 building is painted red with white trim and white windows, in the standard idiom of north Norwegian churches, but the cupola is the giveaway: a hint of the long trade routes that once connected this coast to Archangel and the White Sea.
The interior is simple, with a pulpit and altar from the older 17th-century church that preceded the current building. The graveyard around the church holds many of the local fishing-family names. The church is occasionally open for services and concerts in summer.
