Sævik[2] is a small village in Namsos Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The village was the site of the old Sævik Church until the mid-1800s. The village is located about half-way between the villages of Klinga and Spillum, along the Norwegian County Road 17. The town of Namsos lies about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the north, on the other side of the river Namsen.

History

Sævik had a church and was for many years the seat of a sub-parish (sokn). In the 16th century, Sævig (using the old spelling) was recorded as a part of Fosnes prestegjeld (parish). From 1820, it was part of the prestegjeld of Overhalla (not quite the same as the present-day Overhalla Municipality). There were churches in Sævik, Vemundvik (from 1844), and in Namsos (from 1859).

In 1859, Namsos became a parish of its own. The parish of Sævik was split in 1859, so that the northern part (Vemundvik) remained with Overhalla, and Sævik became a parish of its own.[3]

In 1866, a new church was built in the village of Klinga, about 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) south of Sævik and the old church in Sævik was torn down.[4] In May 1885, the parish changed its name from Sævig to Klingen since that's where the church was presently located.
