context_page_description: Davik Church is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Bremanger Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Davik. It is the church for the Davik parish which is part of the Nordfjord prosti in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1886 by the architect Georg Andreas Bull. The church seats about 500 people.
  It was consecrated on 6 July 1886 by the Bishop Fredrik Waldemar Hvoslef. The church was built near the site of a previous cruciform church which had become too small for the congregation. There was some controversy as to where the new church was to be built. Many wanted the church to be built on the other side of the Nordfjorden, but the people on the south side protested, and it was finally decided to build the new church near the old church.
