Fana Church

The church at Fana is a long medieval stone church with a narrower, lower chancel at the right end. In the Middle Ages, the church probably had a west tower, which may have been demolished after the church was struck by lightning and burnt down in 1644. The church in Fana has undergone several renovations, the most recent in 1870 according to the plans of the builder Askild Aase, and in 1926-27 under the direction of the architect Frederik Konow Lund. During the reconstruction in 1870, the church furniture was completely renewed.
