Gol, NO

Gol Church

The Gol church, designed by architect Henrik Nissen, was completed in 1882, after the former Stave church in the city had to give way and was moved to Bygdøy kongsgard, in the area that is now the Oslo Folk Museum. The former Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments, which was responsible for the moving of the stave church operation, donated the old building to King Oscar II.

Herad kyrkje

The church in Herad was inaugurated in 1934. Already at the end of the 19th century, the construction of the church was discussed and in 1907 a building committee was appointed. But it was not until 1932 that construction work began. The colours of the interior date from 1953, and are mainly brown and green-brown. The main colour of the furnishings is blue-grey, which is found on the pulpit, the pews and the octagonal font.

Torpo Church

The Torpo church is a long church dating from 1880. The former Stave church, located nearby, became the property of the municipality in 1875, and shortly afterwards a new church was built. The church in Torpo was designed by Conrad Fredrik von der Lippe and built by the builder Andreas Keitel.
