Bjoa Church

The Bjoa church was built in 1895 according to the design of Hartvig Sverdrup Eckhoff. Originally the church was painted light green on the outside, but it is now white. The interior is characterised by light colours in grey, blue and white. These colours were given to him during the restoration of the church in 1967 by the architect Sigurd Lie Olsen. Previously, the interior was pink with yellow-brown columns.
