Vaeroy New Church

Modern parish church serving the island community of Vaeroy.

Vaeroy New Church is the modern parish church for the island community, a modest but visible landmark in a place where settlement, sea, and mountains press close together. On Vaeroy, even local civic and religious buildings help explain how people live year-round in the outer Lofoten landscape.

It is not a major architectural pilgrimage, but it can be a worthwhile short stop while walking or cycling around the island. Visit quietly and combine it with the older church sites, harbour areas, and coastal viewpoints.
