Kinn (island)

Kinn is a small, uninhabited island located off the west coast of Norway, in the municipality of Stad in Vestland county. The island is known primarily for its historic Kinn Church, a medieval stone church that has been a site of pilgrimage for centuries.

The Kinn Church dates back to the 12th century, possibly earlier, and is believed to have been built on a site with pre-Christian religious significance. Its isolated location and architectural style have made it a subject of interest for historians and art historians. The church is dedicated to St. Sunniva, the patron saint of Western Norway.

Access to Kinn island is by boat, and services are held in the Kinn Church during the summer months, attracting visitors and pilgrims. The island's natural landscape is rugged and windswept, characterized by rocky terrain and sparse vegetation. While uninhabited, the island has a rich history and cultural significance due to the Kinn Church.
