Vangen Church, Medieval stone church in Aurlandsvangen, Norway
The rectangular stone structure features walls that measure 6 meters in height and between 1.3 to 1.6 meters in thickness, with a ceiling reaching 18 meters.
Constructed in 1202, the church operated as an election site during the Norwegian Constituent Assembly of 1814, marking Norway's first national elections.
A hexagonal pulpit from the early 1600s exhibits painted tulips, brass ornaments, and pilasters set against a pale yellow background within the church interior.
The church accommodates 270 people and functions as the main parish church for the Vangen parish within the Sogn prosti deanery of the Diocese of Bjørgvin.
Known as Sognedomen, this religious building stands as the largest among seven medieval stone churches in the Sogn og Fjordane region of Norway.
