Old Olden Church

The white wooden structure features a cruciform design with a central square connecting four cross-arms, each measuring 6 by 6 meters.

Built in 1759 by master builder Jon Langeland, the church replaced a previous structure destroyed by a severe winter storm in 1757.

The church interior contains artifacts from earlier structures, including decorated pews with names and dates from the previous stave church of 1746.

The church accommodates 250 people and currently functions as a museum, opening for special services on Constitution Day and St. Olaf's Day.

The altarpiece from 1772 combines canvas paintings and wooden sculptures, while the church houses a Bible dating from 1550.
