Brekke Church

The church of Brekke is a long church from 1862, the third church of the village. In the Middle Ages there was a Stave church on the Haugland farm, which was first mentioned in 1327. In 1590, the church was moved to Ytre Brekke. It was the first church in the village that was named Brekke church. In 1686, mention is made of a half-timbered church that was probably located where the present church is.
