Skafså Church

Skafså Church is a wooden church building in Tokke Municipality featuring traditional Norwegian construction methods. Vertical timber posts support the roof structure, demonstrating the building techniques of its period.

The building was constructed in 1839, a time when older wooden stave churches were being replaced by newer structures throughout Norway. This church represents a transitional period in the region's religious architecture.

The church functions as a gathering space for worship services and community celebrations throughout the year. It remains central to the spiritual and social life of the surrounding settlements.

The building is accessible for visits, especially during the summer season when services are regularly held. Plan your visit for these warmer months to find the church more reliably open.

Nearby stands the Grimdalstunet Museum, housing a collection of around 300 sculptures created by local artist Anne Grimdalen. This contemporary art concentration sits unexpectedly close to this early 19th-century structure.
