context_page_description: Hestad is a village in Sunnfjord Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The village is located on the northern shore of the river Gaula. The village is located just north of a very small peninsula that is about 20 metres wide by 400 metres long. The peninsula juts south into the river, separating the two lakes. The forested peninsula is the site of Hestad Chapel and it has been a church site for centuries. There was originally an old stave church on the site that was built in the 14th century.
  There is a bridge from the peninsula to the south side of the river, part of the Fv.610 highway. Hestad is located about 8 kilometres east of the municipal center, Sande and about 15 kilometres west of the village of Vik.
