List of churches in Bjørgvin


The list of churches in Bjørgvin is a list of the Church of Norway churches in the Diocese of Bjørgvin which includes all of Vestland county in Norway. The list is divided into several sections, one for each deanery in the diocese. Administratively within each deanery, the churches are divided by municipalities each of which has their own church council and then into parishes which have their own councils. Each parish may have one or more local church.
Historically, the diocese has had many deaneries, but the number of deaneries has been reduced in recent years. The Laksevåg deanery in Bergen was dissolved in 2013 and its churches were divided between the Bergen domprosti and the Fana prosti. Also in 2013, the old Ytre Sogn prosti was dissolved. The old deanery included Gulen, Solund, Hyllestad, Høyanger, Balestrand, and Vik municipalities. The municipalities of Gulen and Solund were transferred to the Nordhordland prosti, which includes the northern municipalities in the old Hordaland county. Hyllestad and Høyanger were transferred to Sunnfjord prosti, and Balestrand and Vik were transferred to Indre Sogn prosti and it was renamed Sogn deanery.
In 2014, the Midhordland prosti was dissolved and its churches were divided between Fana prosti and Hardanger og Voss prosti. Also in 2014, the parishes in nearby Osterøy Municipality were transferred from Nordhordland prosti to the Arna og Åsane prosti. At that time, its name could have been changed to "Arna, Åsane and Osterøy deanery" but that was considered to be too long a name. In 2015, the Norwegian Department of Culture changed the name to Åsane prosti.
In 2017, the diocese created a new deanery called Bergensdalen prosti to help relieve the work in the large deaneries in the city of Bergen.

Bergen domprosti

This arch-deanery covers the central part of the city of Bergen. The deanery is headquartered at the Bergen Cathedral in the city of Bergen in Bergen Municipality. In 1990, the domprosti was split into four deaneries: Arna og Åsane prosti in the northeast, Fana prosti in the south part of the city, Laksevåg prosti in the west part of the city, and Bergen domprosti in the city centre. In 2013, parts of the old Laksevåg prosti were moved back into this deanery.
