Varhaug gamle kirkegård

The cemetery grounds include stone walls, traditional grave markers, and a small chapel measuring 15 square meters with 14 wooden chairs inside.

The location has hosted three different churches since 1200, with the current chapel constructed in 1951 after German forces removed the previous structure during World War II.

The chapel displays an antique church bell from 1791 and contains a replica of the Sapienta sculpture, representing wisdom from the period between 1650 and 1720.

Religious services occur twice annually at the cemetery, during the second day of Pentecost and during the celebration of Olsok in summer.

German troops used iron crosses from the cemetery for target practice, and bullet marks remain visible on some of the surviving grave markers.
