History
Rørstad is a village in Sørfold Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The village is located along the Sørfolda fjord, about 25 kilometres (16 mi) south of the village of Nordfold and about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) northwest of the village of Røsvika. The historic Rørstad Church is located in the village, and worship services are held there twice each summer. The village area was located on a peninsula lying between the Nordfolda and Sørfolda fjords, just east of the uninhabited island, Prestmåsøya.
