Bud Church

Bud Church is a wooden church dating from 1717, restored in the 1830s after a fire. There used to be a Stave church in the town, but it burned down in 1709 after a lightning strike. During the Second World War, the tower was destroyed by German soldiers as it was an obstacle to access to the Ergan coastal fort, which was located near the church. The tower was kept in a barn until it was replaced in 1947.
