Sokndal Church (Norwegian: Sokndal kirke) is a parish church in Sokndal municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Hauge. The church is part of the Sokndal parish in the Dalane deanery in the Diocese of Stavanger. The white, wooden, cruciform church was built in a Louis XVI style and it seats about 840 people. The church was partially completed in 1803 when it was put into use. It was finished about four years later and was consecrated on 8 July 1807. The church sits on the same site as the previous medieval timber-framed church.[1][2][3]
