Eksingedal Church (Norwegian: Eksingedal kyrkje) is a parish church in Vaksdal municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Flatkvål in the Eksingedalen valley. The church is part of the Eksingedal parish in the Hardanger og Voss deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The stone church was built in 1883 by the architect Hartvig Sverdrup Eckhoff. The church, which seats about 120 people, was consecrated on 12 June 1883. Before this time, there was a chapel on the same site called Flatekval kapell. That chapel was built during the 17th century and it was torn down to make room for the present church in 1883.[1][2]
