Holt Church

The church of Holt was a long stone church in the Middle Ages. In 1753, the transverse arms and choirs were built of wood, so that today only the long walls of the nave and the west wall remain of the original stone church. This modification was carried out by the builder Lars Albretsen Øvrenes. The interior of the church, which like many other churches was repainted in the 19th century, was restored in 1952-53 by Finn Krafft.
