Frøyset Church (Norwegian: Frøyset kyrkje) is a parish church in Masfjorden in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located in the small village of Frøyset. It sits at the mouth of the small Frøysetelva river, along the shore of the Frøysetfjorden. The church is part of the Frøyset parish in the Nordhordland deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in 1937 by the architect Thorolf Hals Frølich. The church was consecrated in 1937 by the Bishop Andreas Fleischer. The church seats about 180 people and it serves the northwestern part of the municipality. In 1969-1970, the church was expanded with the addition of a kitchen and parish hall off the north side of the church.[1][2][3]
