Nedstryn Church

The Nedstryn church, inaugurated in 1859, replaced a 17th-century wooden church, which in turn replaced a medieval church. The church is a combination of the main forms of the drawings by Hans Linstow (1787-1851) and Christian Heinrich Grosch (1801-1865). In 1965 the church received two new extensions on each side of the porch.

Loen Church

The Loen church is an octagonal wooden church dating from 1838. The master-builder of the building was Elling Waldboe. He was probably inspired by the church in Innvik for the construction of this church. The church has changed little over the years and is therefore one of the churches that give the best impression of what Norwegian churches of this type were like in the first half of the 18th century.

Olden Old Church

The Olden Old Church is a wooden church built in 1759 on the site of an old stave church probably dating from the 14th century. The stave church was demolished in 1746 and replaced by a wooden church which was destroyed by a storm in 1757. As it has no heating or electric light, a new service church was built in Olden in 1934.
