Romnes Church (Norwegian: Romnes kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Nome Municipality in Telemark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Romnes. It is one of the churches for the Holla og Helgen parish which is part of the Øvre Telemark prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, stone church was built in a long church design around the year 1100 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 100 people. The church was taken out of regular use in 1867 and since then, it has been used for special occasions and a few summer worship services each year.[1][2]
