Hordabø Church

Hordabø Church, formerly Bø Church, is a long church from 1875. There was a church on the site since the Middle Ages which was probably a stave church, but it is not known when it was built and when it was demolished again. When the church is mentioned again in 1686, it is a wooden church with a tower. The builder Jon Jonsen Alvær built the present church according to the designs of the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church underwent extensive restoration in 1949.
