Bardal

Bardal or Bardalssjøen is a village in the municipality of Leirfjord in Nordland county, Norway. The village is located along the south coast of the Ranfjorden, about 10 km west of Hemnesberget. The village surrounds the Bardalselva river which flows into the fjord. The Bardal Church was built in 1887 near the mouth of the river. The Bardal area has historically been part of both Nesna (to the north) and Hemnes (to the east), but it has been part of Leirfjord since 1964.
