CHURCH (KIRKJA)

A pretty black wooden architecture, covered with lawn on the roof and dominated by a square bell tower, entirely white and topped with a weathervane! The place is bucolic. Surrounded by a low stone wall, the building dates back to the ^11th century. Under the present church, inaugurated in 1838, the foundations of the very first church were found: it was made of wood, in the Norwegian style. Since then, five churches have been built successively. Twenty-six graves and 42 coins from the ^13th century were found in the layers of the second oldest building.
