Hålandsdal Church
History
This church was built to replace the Old Hålandsdal Church located about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the northwest of this site. Karl Askeland was hired as the architect and lead builder. The building had a nave that measures about 13.2 by 9.2 metres (43 ft × 30 ft) and a choir that measures about 5.9 by 6.6 metres (19 ft × 22 ft). This new church was completed in 1890 and was consecrate on 20 November 1890 by the Bishop Fredrik Hvoslef. After this church was opened, the Old Hålandsdal Church was renamed Holdhus Church and it was closed and later converted to a museum. The old church served the Hålandsdalen valley from the 14th century until 1890 when the new church was opened. The new Hålandsdal Church was remodeled in 1978 and the church porch under the tower was enlarged to add bathrooms and storage as well as a larger entrance area.
