Gildeskal

Gildeskål is best known in Norway for Gildeskål Old Church, a medieval stone church that stands as a rare reminder of the region’s early Christian past. This Nordland municipality lies on the Norwegian Sea, north of the Arctic Circle, where a broken coastline of islands, sheltered sounds and fjords gives way to rugged mainland terrain. Communities are scattered between the outer coast and inland valleys, with fishing and maritime travel long central to local life. Sandhornøya, one of the municipality’s larger islands, underscores the scale of this coastal district, while ferries link several settlements.
